How do tuk-tuk drivers think competition from auto-rickshaws will affect them?

文字稿

There's a new gang in town: young, colourful, speedy and you see them just about everywhere in Phnom Penh.

一種新興交通工具現(xiàn)身這座城市：它們適合年輕人、色彩鮮艷、速度快，在柬埔寨金邊隨處可見。

But all's not well on the capital's increasingly crowded streets where ageing cyclos, motor taxis, locally made tuk-tuksand cars all battle for road space.

但柬埔寨首都的交通狀況并非盡如人意：在日益擁擠的街道上，陳舊的倒騎式人力三輪車、機(jī)動(dòng)出租車、當(dāng)?shù)刂圃斓?“突突車” 和汽車都在競(jìng)相爭(zhēng)奪道路空間。

Now there's the auto-rickshawto contend with. Their popularity has caused a ripple of discontent among the legions of tuk-tuk owners, who see their way of life and incomes under threat.

現(xiàn)在它們又得和機(jī)動(dòng)人力三輪車競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。倍受乘客歡迎的機(jī)動(dòng)人力三輪車引起了大批突突車司機(jī)的不滿，他們認(rèn)為自己的生活和收入都受到了威脅。

Deth Chan, tuk-tuk Driver
Before the rickshaws arrived, everyone used tuk-tuks. But the rickshaws use LPG so they're cheaper and they also use the phone network which we don't have, so now customers prefer them over us.

戴斯·陳 突突車司機(jī)
“在機(jī)動(dòng)人力車出現(xiàn)之前，大家都坐突突車。但這些機(jī)動(dòng)人力車由液化石油氣驅(qū)動(dòng)，所以車費(fèi)比我們更便宜，而且這些司機(jī)還使用我們沒有的手機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)，所以乘客們現(xiàn)在都更愿意坐他們的車?！?/p>

Many auto-rickshaws are equipped with PassApp, a Cambodian version of Uber or Grab. And this new ride-hailingplatform has quickly won over passengers no longer content to haggle over the fare.

很多機(jī)動(dòng)人力三輪車都裝有這款叫 “PassApp” 的打車應(yīng)用軟件，它相當(dāng)于柬埔寨版的優(yōu)步或 “Grab”。這個(gè)新的叫車平臺(tái)已迅速爭(zhēng)取到了那些不甘于為車費(fèi)討價(jià)還價(jià)的乘客。

While the drivers of the old and the new carriagesmight see themselves as competitors, there's a potential solution that could see both sides coming together.

盡管新老三輪車的司機(jī)們可能視彼此為競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手，但有一種可以讓兩方和平共處的潛在解決方案。

Top Nimol, PassApp Founder and CEO
We are in the middle, we understand the market, we understand about the driver. That's why we encourage the driver for the traditional tuk-tuk to join us.

托普·尼莫爾 PassApp 創(chuàng)始人及首席執(zhí)行官
“我們?cè)谥虚g，既了解這個(gè)市場(chǎng)，也了解這些司機(jī)。這就是我們鼓勵(lì)傳統(tǒng)突突車司機(jī)加入這個(gè)平臺(tái)的原因?！?/p>

There's little doubt the auto-rickshaw is here to stay. The question now is, can both sides co-exist or is the auto-rickshaw firmly in the driver's seat?

毫無疑問，機(jī)動(dòng)人力三輪車會(huì)長(zhǎng)期發(fā)展下去。現(xiàn)在的問題是：兩方能否共存，還是說機(jī)動(dòng)人力車會(huì)控制整個(gè)局面？
