Tell me which booking I go take.

Anyway no, once you posted drivers should be able to see in their advanced booking page already. If not taken I think 30 minutes (need confirmation) before your start time, Grab will blast it out to online drivers nearby.

Good idea in theory. Shyat to actually implement. Looking at it from ops perspective sey customer books a ride from Defu Lane to Tuas at 3am. Grab side accept. That means a driver has to drive an empty car car to Defu Lane to reach there at 3am. Then drive empty car back from Tuas after that. Then his sleep disrupted, next day how to drive. See the huge problem there dat Grab neber wargame the scenario.

Don't understand what sleep disrupted...

Don't want drive then don't take and don't online lah.

Cuz grab advanced booking fares usually lower than on-the-spot, so many drivers don't take

Exactly. Dats why no takers for dat kind of booking. I tried booking a cab in early morning before and zero takers also. Dats why it's necessary 2 hv a cat in Singapore.

Your price and/or location sucks.

Airport advance booking at those hours usually snapped up except maybe weekends.

As mentioned it was to ulu place that has zero chance of the cabbie picking up a fare on his way out at that ungodly hour. So end of the day, just do the opposite of whatever 170 Media tells you to do and you're good.

Thread in question was airport so not sure why you want to use the opposite end of the island as an example.

Anyway, same goes for airport trips at ungodly hours, there is possibly no way they will get another trip out unless you wanna queue for hours. Ungodly hours is where everyone is flying out, not coming back in.

Issue with Tuas is that it's just way too far and way too inconvenient yes, you are better off with personal transport.
