That‘s why I got charged the full pre-calculated amount even when he ended the ride after a few minutes.
Which is ok, of course, because in the end he drove me to T1.

I used Grab the very first time in Manila and had 13 rides the last couple of days before this last one. All other drivers indeed were very polite, some didn’t talk at all (which is fine!), with others I‘d nice conversations.
