In a campaign to cut pollution and noise in the sprawling archaeological complex of Angkor Wat, authorities have introduced 300 battery-powered bicycles for tourists to use to explore the site. Complaints by locals about noisy motorized vehicles spurred the plan and the electric bicycles have proved to be a success with tourists, who rent them for four dollars a day. Motorcycle taxi drivers in Siem Reap, the gateway town to the complex, are unhappy with the new service, fearing it will damage their business.
