WTF

Grab is spending big $ to improve the maps and contribute back to the community.

How about less bitching and more helping them spend their $ better.

And a side note, Grab and the other products like it are revolutionising Asia.

They are allowing the poor to have more rides, giving the drivers consistent work, wiping out the tuk tuk mafias, are making the vehicles far more efficient and clean, allowing non local language people to use local people to take trips easily.

I've never seen anything like it. It's a revolution. It's how tech can truly change the world.

improve the maps

The contention of the "bitching" is that they are not actually doing that.
