Regulating App-based Mobility: Case Studies from Bangkok, Manila and Phnom Penh

The rise of app-based mobility services in Southeast Asia has changed urban mobility and goods delivery, yet many cities still lack fit-for-purpose regulation. This report reviews the regulatory frameworks and governance structures for app-based mobility services in three Southeast Asian cities: Bangkok, Manila and Phnom Penh.

The study evaluates the benefits and challenges of these services from a public policy perspective and provides city-specific recommendations as well as insights applicable to other urban centres in the region. The work is carried out in collaboration with local knowledge partners. In-depth interviews with key stakeholders across the public and private sectors in each city inform findings, building on conclusions from the ITF ‘Regulating App-based Mobility Services in ASEAN’ report.

This project is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea and delivered in collaboration with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
