The new initiative is being piloted nearby Wat Ounalom, and secures cars in orderly parking spots while measuring the amount of time each vehicle spends in a parking space.
This week, Post reporter Sok Chan, sat down with the firm’s co-founder and CEO, Tetsuji Nagata to talk about his visions for the business.

Re: A new way of parking
I never thought, until I lived here, that I would welcome the introduction of traffic wardens but I am thoroughly pissed off with pavement parking... it turns every walk into a dangerous exercise. This project is a tiny step in the right direction but now Phnom Penh needs to unleash some wardens to encourage selfish drivers to start paying for parking.

Re: A new way of parking
Could do with some Meter Maids from Australia's Gold Coast / Surfer's Paradise.
Re: A new way of parking
I used to go out with a girl who was a bikini meter-maid in Surfers for a while, worst job she ever had apparently, guys would just be constantly hitting on them and treating them like ho's, and there used to be a few creeps that would stalk them around town all day long, she resigned after a few weeks. Saw her on the cover of FHM about a year after we broke up, lovely girl.Username Taken wrote:Meter Maids from Australia's Gold Coast / Surfer's Paradise.
Back on topic...I don't think regular parking solutions like parking buildings, etc. that are used in developed nations would do well here, too many self-entitled pricks who think they deserve VIP treatment and would turn their noses up at the thought of having to park more than 10 metres away from where they want to go.

What about investing in some roads and the repair there of instead of some scam to make money.
Re: A new way of parking
I was thinking the same thing, it normalizes them with others and doesn't make them feel special. I remember I'd often park my $75 Daihatsu next to a several hundred thousand dollar Mercedes when I went to the city, but here I think that would never go down well. Can you see some Bong Thom in a Lexus parking next to a Tico in an orderly and courteous fashion?PSD-Kiwi wrote: Back on topic...I don't think regular parking solutions like parking buildings, etc. that are used in developed nations would do well here, too many self-entitled pricks who think they deserve VIP treatment and would turn their noses up at the thought of having to park more than 10 metres away from where they want to go.
