Taxi
I read about people taking tuk tuks here all the the time but I was just wondering about the air con taxis. Are they relatively expensive? Are they as dodgy, when it comes to price and knowing the destination, as the tuk tuks ?

Re: Taxi
theres Exnet taxi app, actually works out cheaper than tuk tuks apparently
might be a couple of other apps, taxis can be cheaper than Tuk tuks,
havent used to personally but its something i should start getting into the habit of doing

Re: Taxi
Posted on a different question. Breakdown spells it out quite well. Most drivers will use 2-3 different apps at a time so best you have more than 1
ExNet and Pass App are exactly the same app. (although the flag down fee is 1000 more for PassApp)
Itsumo works quite well, although the price is similar to Exnet (which I do not feel is in anyway expensive)
Obviously though, the best Uber like app in Phnom Penh is Uber, pretty cheap at the moment (if not on the free promotion) cars turn up on time, drop you off where you want. Sometimes the stated time on the app is a lot lower than reality but if you don't mind waiting it is fine.
All of the apps above are still better than the bartering and still over paying for a Tuk-Tuk
4km trip with 10 minute waiting time comes to:
PassApp ៛12,000
ExNet ៛11,000
Uber ៛12,400
iTsumo ៛10,980
Doesn't take into account coverage or route taken but all within ៛1,500 or each other
I doubt same distance (Central market to Russian market) would be cheaper than $3 in a tuk-tuk
