Motorcycle taxi
In Phnom Penh and other cities in Cambodia, motorcycle taxis are widely available as a form of low-cost public transport.
They tend to stay outside major tourist attractions, office buildings, public markets, and near the corners of residential streets.
There is no regulated system of training or bike maintenance and no common uniform, so mutual transportation is sometimes informally solicited by motorcyclists.
Fares for motorcycle taxis in Phnom Penh typically range from 1500-4000 riel for a trip through town or US$6-$8 per day, although prices can be higher for multiple passengers or during nighttime.
In some parts of the state, motorcycle drivers are legally required to wear helmets, but any passengers riding pillion are not.
In last few years, a few companies such as Rapido, Uber and Ola have come up in multiple cities in India providing bike taxi services.
The widespread availability of cheap, domestic motorcycles made by Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki, and even cheaper ones imported from China, as well as credit schemes with which to purchase these, have resulted in the rapid growth of ojek.
Indonesia traffic law requires motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets; often on ojek, however, only the driver does so.
