This is a ride sharing TukTuk for Bangkok areas only right now. You load the app and it shows you pick up and drop off spots in your small area. You can book 1-6 seats in an Electric TukTuk and they will route a tuktuk to come pick you up in a few minutes. This is a very inexpensive option, great when its not raining. Think of this as the last mile transportation from any BTS station. ___

    If you are in Chiang Mai, there are also red trucks that are kind of shared taxis - you flag them down when you need a ride, and the back can hold 8 people or so (depending on baggage, and how tightly you cram in). If they already have passengers, they may not take you if you are going a completely different direction, but it’s usually not an issue. The prices are fixed, and are printed on the side of the trucks - at the time I was there, it was 50 baht per person to take you anywhere in the city (if you need to go outside the city, you can negotiate a price with the driver). Some of the drivers may try to get you to pay more - just confirm the price ahead of time, and point to the price on the side of the truck if they try to object.

    I believe some other cities may have similar trucks, but they were primarily a feature of Change Mai while I was there.
