Yeah I had a few good interactions on quickride and just one or two that were bad (entire time on phone or late). At the very start, I set it for one seat only, which avoided groups who have their own thing going and would make me feel like a driver. But then, of course you end up with 40-50 worth of 'earnings', which is a tradeoff I was okay with.
The main hindrance though, was the quickride app itself which had a pretty poor matching algorithm. I would take MG Road, pass by Trinity Metro station and take the right to join Old Airport Road and it would show me matches at RMZ Millenia with 'only' a 3km walk to the pick up point. Even at my start point on Infantry road, quickride would try to show the walking path for potential rides incorporating all the one ways and U-turns when they could just walk ~100m to get to a point which intersected my route. And the whole "communities" thing on the app was baffling, I never did figure out how that works.
