On one occasion I was outside Shanghai bar. The tuktuks wanted 2 USD to take me to street 102. I told them I would call an Exnet taxi but they did not understand. While I was waiting one tuktuk driver kept saying "two dollar OK brother?" I told him, "no thanks, it's OK I take a car". He never dropped his price. Then after three minutes a Lexus arrived and in I climbed. The tuktuk driver looked a bit stunned. The fare was 6000 riel. That's when I realised the tuktuks have some serious competition in PP.YaTingPom wrote:Tried Uber but kept crashing. Downloaded Exnet and have done two journeys ok.
Driver told me the TukTuk boys get pissed off when a taxi turns up! Good.
Uber launches in Cambodia with a killer promotion
Maybe (that would certainly explain it) but it has been happening on almost every ride with Uber and it never happens when I use Exnet, Itsumo and 711.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:One time on EXNET my driver called me to say that he had accepted the job accidentally and he wasn't coming to get me. I tried to cancel the job and rebook but the app hung and I was 'on that journey' for the next hour or so. I called the driver and he told me he was out of money on his phone and had no internet. When he recharged then the app would reset.
30'mins later it worked ok.
Irritating I couldn't use either exnet or PassApp during that time - they seem to have a DB crossover.
I'd expect that your UBER issue could have been similar. The driver most likely ran out of money/internet on his phone and the app got stuck.
Is there any word if Uber will start offering Uber Moto in PP? It works fantastically well here in HCM. Been using it about three times a day with very few issues. Incredibly cheap as well, compared to negotiating with a motodop.
Not heard of that. How much do you pay per km? The cheapest option in PP that I have found are the Indian-made tuktuks offered by 711Go. The minimum fare is $0.75. That seems to take you 1 km. A 3km ride costs $1.25.Driftless wrote:Is there any word if Uber will start offering Uber Moto in PP? It works fantastically well here in HCM.

I wasn't sure how to interpret this promo. $4 off each trip? So free for many trips?

Yeah, I think so. The wording is pretty similar to the $10 off promotion previously in the year so I am guessing it is the same.violet wrote:i wReasonstobefearfulP3 wrote:Promotion code: UberPPLaunch

$4 off spread over 10 trips would be impossible as minimum fare is $1.25
Uber"s promotion is great. $4 per trip (thus free for any trip under $4) for 10 trips, indeed..
TPP to Canadia tower cost me 85c during peak time. If you have multiple accounts (on different phones) like I have, that's a lot of free rides. Plus not having to deal in cash with drivers is a real bonus, that alone would make uber my preferred choice.
I had 4 rides so far, no problem except for the one hyper slow fucktard afraid to step on the gas in his old prius. I think their regular rate is something like 50c/km plus $3 per hour, pro rated of course.

I have had this happen occasionally. Is he trying to make it run on battery so he uses no gasoline?logos wrote:

Question about your multiple accounts. Is the uber app on each of your devices a google play app? If so, does each device use the same google play account (same email and associated payment method)? I am just wondering what Uber uses to determine 'unique customer'. I guess a dual sim phone...two numbers on same device would not count as two unique customers as uber app is on same device.

One trip wasted because some wanker of a driver accepted saying five mins away. Car location updated to be at a matket. Car not moving. I phone. He says 10 mins ok? I say no, not ok and cancel. Wanker
