New taxi service for Phnom Penh- PP Automobile Co Ltd

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Another taxi firm joins the capital’s crowded ranks
Tue, 21 March 2017

Phnom Penh Automobile Co Ltd became the latest metered taxi operator in the capital after launching operations yesterday with 25 vehicles, aiming to fill what it says is a growing demand by the capital’s residents and visitors to use air-conditioned taxis to get around.

Thai Seila, general manager of Phnom Penh Automobile, said the taxi service will operate with 25 vehicles until June to test the market demand. It then plans to enlarge its fleet to at least 65 vehicles.

Phnom Penh Automobile will charge a flag drop fee of 4,000 riel ($1) and a rate determined by distance travelled. Until April, the distance-based fee will be 1,300 riel ($0.33) per kilometre, after which it will increase to 1,600 riel ($0.40) in May and 1,800 riel ($0.46) in June. Seila noted that the firm will keep the rate below 2,000 riel per kilometre.

Drivers will be charged $10 to rent a vehicle for 24 hours for the first six months of operations and will retain all the earnings they receive from customers, according to Seila..
