Singapore-based ride hailing app Grab has launched motorbike taxis services in Phnom Penh, becoming the first app of its kind to do so. GrabBike is only in beta and the service was launched exclusively in some central parts of the capital. Wee Tang Yee, Grab’s country head for Cambodian and Thailand, said the company had signed up about 100 motorbike drivers, all of whom had attended a safety and training session in addition to providing ownership documents and a valid driver’s license. The base rate for GrabBike drivers is currently set at 2,500 riel, or $0.63, for the first kilometer, with customers charged an additional 1,000 riel, or $0.25, per kilometer after that. That was subject to change after the beta test, according to Yee. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)
