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?
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.
glad to hear. I believe good clean competition breeds a better business model. I grow so weary of the tuk tuk hustle in PP. Now I just put my earbuds in place & smile, ignore, walk. I find them more annoying then the beggars but have more compassion for the beggars.

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.
cyclo quoted me 3 bucks for 2 dollar tuctuc ride too ! i took it anyway and it was kinda fun checking out scenery in slow motion....and the driver had to be pushin 70.....give him credit

The thought of my head at bumper height always gave me pause for thought. And then no.
Also every tuk tuk V SUV or automobile accident seems to eject passengers as well as operator.
Never ends well.
After every tuk tuk ride I've ever done in PP I feel I need another shower.
Tuk tuks suck big time.

Some of my friends pay their tuktuks monthly, going and picking them up at work
Some bought/rent motors, costs are cheaper and they're not scared of driving.
:please: be careful, if anyone decides in getting one. Try not to make any troubles, ignore arguments if you can =@
I myself, bought a small car, but sheesh the road is so bad so I'm trying to save for a bigger car.
Been here for 9 years, think I'm still staying longer so I'm seriously considering a bigger car.

Hope this helps :hattip:
