After a few minutes he stopped Grab (and it was charged the full amount). I asked to get off. No no sir, I‘ll bring you to T1. Driving skills were terrible.
But in the end he dropped me of at T1 International departures. And asked for tip. I told him, will do via Grab. He asked many times for cash. No
I did not add a tip, however.
Thats very strange. Was it a Grab Taxi or a private Grab? I have been in and out frequently and the private Grab drivers are very polite and never has asked for a tip. Yes the normal taxi drivers are a scam most of the time.
