    I had traveled to Southeast Asia recently, and used Grab for the first time there to get a taxi. I was surprised by how precise it was. No wonder.

      Grab works great. I remember when they killed Uber in the region. They had the option for cash payment and cash on delivery when Uber was trying to apply it’s 1st world western logic of “everyone has a credit card” and failed because that was just plain wrong.

        Oh man, that’s hilarious. “Our business model doesn’t actually even work where we live. But I know what we’ll do about that, we’re going to do it exactly the same in a place we don’t have a clue about!”

        The hubris, lol. It’s delicious.
