Re: How do you get around town?
Love Uber! Reliable, wait time no more than 5 min (i guess depends on location), attached my credit card to Uber account and don't have to worry about small change or having enough cash when i get too smashed . Considerably cheaper than tutkuks (all my rides have been under 5 bucks), safe late at night and airconned. After attaching my card to the account i had like 10 free rides.timmydownawell wrote:I walk mostly. I used to use motodops as my second choice but am using uGo711 now (I also have PassApp but haven't tried them yet). I wear sneakers and helmet when using a motodop, so using the tuk tuk app frees me up from carrying the helmet around at least. And I caught a bus recently too, which I might do more often now.
Got passapp too, certainly very cheap, use them for short distances when it's a bit too far to walk, but too close to get uber.
I used to ride my moto wasted regularly just because i hate bickering with tuktuk drivers, so I think these apps extending my life expectancy quite significantly

Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes

Walk up to 3 ks usually.
Motto if in a hurry or tuk tuk.
Use Passapp but you need to know where you are going to direct most of the time.
Would not ride a motto myself as not aggressive enough and have no desire to own a car.
Bus or train depending where I want to go within Cambodia.

The Spanish apparently have this covered as " everyone knows the Spanish do magic and fly around on broomsticks.", apparently.

I have found that some of the Uber drivers in Cambodia don't believe the "it will be charged to my credit card I don't owe you any money" explanation.SockPuppet wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 3:09 pmLove Uber!

Re: How do you get around town?
Never had an issue with that myself, I always wait for the confirmation of the finished trip. It shows right on their app if it was cc or if there is cash owing afterwards.Cam Nivag wrote:I have found that some of the Uber drivers in Cambodia don't believe the "it will be charged to my credit card I don't owe you any money" explanation.SockPuppet wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 3:09 pmLove Uber!

Re: How do you get around town?
I am almost feeling sorry for tuk tuks. If you pay $1 from 51 to riverside how much do you save waiting for "an app" to turn up? if your negotiating skill are good its going to be $1.50. Average $20. Sumbass fesh of the boat tourist $3-$5. For longer regular trips they make sense, saves me enough for 2 beers going into town and back, but for short hops I have yet to be convinced.
