Exnet & Itsumo for me. Cheaper, cleaner, safer, quieter & all I have used spoke English.
Longest I ever waited was 15 min. Usually 5-10. minutes & as short as 2 minutes.

No smog to breathe as all with A/C & all very helpful with other PP info. Where to go for this or that.

I'll never use tuk tuk again. Hope they come to SHV & I will sell my truck.

Grab car is the best but not here yet. Is Uber up & running inn PP?

I haven't bothered getting a car in PP, traffic is far too congested, there is a severe lack of parking, don't want to park in my bloody living room every night, plus I am dead against drunk driving and I like to enjoy several drinks when I'm out.

Don't drive a moto because there's too many idiots on the road and the last thing I need is to get injured and not be able to work, plus as mentioned above I don't drink and drive.

Don't take taxis as the traffic is too congested plus I like to be able to have a smoke and a beer while traveling around.

So yes, I use Tuk-Tuks daily in PP., they're not the safest mode of transport but they are quicker than a car in the city, not as quick as a moto though but safer. Have a bunch of regulars I mostly use who charge me fair rates.

Cyclos are only meant to be used locally. As in a 500-1500m radius from the local market. Some will venture out further, but they'll ask for more as it's a pain in the ass. The only exception is to ferry around heavy goods that are too big and cumbersome for motorbikes. They're quite nice though as the slower pace allows you to notice things you might have been missing for years.

If you want an experience of a life time,let the cyclo dude sit in front while you ride.

I have personally done this and the looks and cheers you receive from the tuk tuk drivers is worth it...

I asked a cyclo to take me from Riverside to Orussey and he wanted $5! I got a tuk tuk for $1.

So I still haven't used a cyclo.

3 years they'll all be gone and most of the TukTuks.

Grab is actually coming to Cambodia very soon. Starting in PP within this fall. Hopefully we get similar competition between Grab and Uber like in Malaysia where they have promotions ongoing all the time.

And yes, Uber works well in PP.
