Abstract
With lack of mass transit system in Phnom Penh, citizens mainly rely on paratransit as public transport mode. This paper explores the characteristics of paratransit operation and fare in Phnom Penh, particularly the motorized paratransit modes with flexible transport service (i.e., Motodop and Remork). Driver interview survey was carried out to examine their operations. GPS devices were used to observe the operating speed and servicing routes. A series of fare models were developed to identify the factors influencing on the fare defined by paratransit drivers. In addition to the revealed characteristics of paratransit operations, results of estimated fare models showed that the paratransit fare was influenced by several factors including trip attributes and driver working conditions. Gathered data serves as useful information for planning of public transport system in the city.
