The Capital Hall would like to inform the public that after we had made two announcements to seek for private companies to invest on public transport (City Bus) in Phnom Penh, we received 7 proposals from vairous companies.

After the special working team has conducted detail study on submitted proposals, only 4 companies provided a completed "checked-list" documents required, and those were shortlisted are: Global (Cambodia) Trade Development, Co., Ltd, The City Trans Cambodia, Ashok Leyland Co. Ltd and ABEFIS Co. Ltd.

As part of the plan, the working team will continue conducting its detailed study on the project and coopertively work with those 4 companies in order to select the company which would be considered as the best partner. The Capital hall is looking forward to finding a company with experienced, a strong commitment and full of capability in running this business of public transport successfully.

^^ it's nice that we will have public bus in the city, but how can we control those existing messy bus, taxi around Central Market. Those look really untidy.

Glad to hear that :) Most importantly, the government must design a proper subsidy scheme to encourage more people taking the bus

Great news!

^^ it's nice that we will have public bus in the city, but how can we control those existing messy bus, taxi around Central Market. Those look really untidy.

I think they have plan to deal with all those messy car or bus parking along the road but don't know how long it takes to achieve :(

Glad to hear that :) Most importantly, the government must design a proper subsidy scheme to encourage more people taking the bus

I think it should have many lines to go everywhere in Phnom Penh territory and suburban area around PP and set the minimum price for the poor to access .. Bus is for low n middle class only so price must be low too. 10 years Ago bus operation was failure because it had only few lines and motor dup at that time was the fast n easiest transportation for our people ... I still have a positive view with this plan and also am trusted on our government to achieve this goal. If there is. A bus everywhere and Tram where my office is located , I will sell off my car and take then instead hahaha cos it saves much for me :$

I think 1000 riel per ticket is affordable to many of the middle and middle-lower class citizens

I think 1000 riel per ticket is affordable to many of the middle and middle-lower class citizens

Yes sure.. From my house near santhormok to riverside, it costs me 5000 riel by motordup ... So it is acceptable but make sure that bus road is faster than motordup :) we should make one lane for bus to drive only so there will be fast

^^ It's a rip-off.

But if you know how to speak Khmer, they will charge you less :)

It is slower than motortuk, unless there is a designated line dedicated for ''bus'' only

I am khmer la but what can I do if they charge high ? Bargain? Hmmm no time for bargain if in hurry.

Yes it is good to have special lane for Bus ... If not, it Still have problem with jam ...

Yes, these people always charge high prices and they are doing good businesses

It is always good to drive your own car, and not really necessary to take motortuk given that most people in Phnom Penh have their own motorbikes :)

I hope these motortuks can be fully eliminated on the streets one day and these drivers can apply to work as a bus driver :)

Yes it is good to have special lane for Bus ... If not, it Still have problem with jam ...

Very much impossible, the roads in Phnom Penh are not wide enough, a few of us had a discussion about this previously

It is slower than motortuk, unless there is a designated line dedicated for ''bus'' only

this the onw of the worst idea in australia it only create congestion since not many buses use it the unions always debate on its usefullness

Don't worry, I don't think it works in Cambodia, the roads here are not wide enough to create a separate line for buses :)

Don't worry, I don't think it works in Cambodia, the roads here are not wide enough to create a separate line for buses :)

So in your opinion, bus project will survive in Cambodia?

I think the "bus lane only" won't work well, no one follow the law, they all over the place. still much more problem, and yes I think the public bus somehow have to be exist in Cambodia. We are growing up, remember :tongue2: .

Phnom Penh will get public buses soon or later, the bus line won't be implemented.

People are not used to riding bus that is the obstacle to the project...

They will get used to it after a few months, just like few people used to wear helmets in the past :)

Preliminary Study on 1st Priority Public Transport in Phnom Penh Presented
Friday, 17 Feb 2012 08:27
The Steering Committee Meeting on the Project for Public Transport Network and a First Priority Line in the Phnom Penh Metropolitan Area was held and chaired by H.E Governor KEP Chuk Tema in the Capital Hall in the afternoon of February 14, 2012.

The primary result of feasibility study of the project was presented by SYSTRA represented by Mr. Antoine Chèvre and Ms. Aurélie Jehanno about the study context, methodology, urban
structure, demographics, socio-economic and transport modes. Based on their presentation, the French experts had primarily summarized that Phnom Penh is at a turning point due to demographic growth, mobility boom and a steady economic growth which caused to complicated traffic flow and it is necessary to have a proper public transport system according to current situation. Moreover, the year 2030 will be the demographic maturity threshold according to the National Institution of Statistics. The study team was mainly focused on some significant routes such as: Monivong Blvd., Monireth, Russian, NR 5, NR 2, NR 1 and Chaom Chao Roundabout which were linked from suburban areas to urban zones. However, the development of Phnom Penh had been gradually done based on the Capital’s Master Plan; thus the study team was thinking only on existing roads. Furthermore, in order to form up a prior line, there should be a public transport system via public bus to facilitate passengers from other provinces and suburban districts. During that meeting, the study team had also presented the sample electronic trains such as: monorails and trams being used in some cities over the globe with high ability and were the big public transport modes to travel more than 60,000 passengers within a short period of time and different directions.

Mentioning in the meeting, H.E Governor had expressed his profound appreciation to the SYSTRA Study team for their effort to reach their primary report for the Capital Hall. Based on the study, we have known that Phnom Penh surely required a urgent public transport system. H.E Governor had also appealed to all relevant agencies and departments to cooperate with SYSTRA and JICA experts for the detail study aiming to facilitate the Project could proceed effectively and could get a good conclusion which would be agreed by all related bodies and at least within the year of 2012, the Capital Hall would establish a city bus system if the investment proposal would be evaluated.

I wish to see too. However, based on the meeting at City Hall, bus will be operated on Monivong Bld, Russian Bld and Monireth Bld, which are under Historicial Metropolitan Center. I doubt how people living on other roads can use the bus.

With thousands of tuk tuk around, people is so used to door to door service, which bus clearly can not do, any proposed route will be opposed by the public.

I think Tuk Tuk will be strictly prohibited in City after the city bus starts operation. Moreover, Tuk Tuk is expensive and not safe, so bus will be successful as long as bus routes are expanded.

Banning it IMO is a wonderful idea, but bus can never replace it. How much do you think bus ride is going to cost?

Can range from R 500 to 1000. It is acceptable for all people. Bus is for poor to middle class people not for the rich.

It's a good idea! I hate seeing those tuk tuk everywhere in the city!

Most middle class tourists visiting Cambodia like Tuk Tuk. I don't get the fact that without tuk tuk would make the real city of Phnom Penh become a real city. Is it not a city or does not look like a city right now?

I agree with you! However, Tuk Tuk should be allowed only in tourism hub not everywhere because it is not safe and it's d main cause of traffic jam!

Tuk Tuk is getting more popularity among all type of tourists and generate more income for the driver and job. Look at Bangkok, Jarkata, even India, they still have some of this old similar transport means and it become an attract for tourish while at the same time it provide new modern bus and skytrain. Traffic Jam because of Tuk Tuk, I dont neccessary agree with you, it 's the people who do not follow the rule

As long as they don't ride on opposite side of road, and don't park anywhere, they cause little traffic issue. But I think there are way too many, the number should be regulated, they have seat for 6 and should not carry 20 people.

It is the same thing for cars and motocicles. They park everywhere that they can find space including the sidewalks. So, why would we not ban them as well?

^^ 2000!

A lot has change since.

^^ That is the reason why we need to ban it! They park in the side walks, anywhere they find space.

Just have to regulated it, taxi has designated waiting area in every country, tuk tuk should also have designated waiting area.

The motor-tuk, those that are just a bike, should be ban.

^^ That is the reason why we need to ban it! They park in the side walks, anywhere they find space.

Based on observation, the main reason for traffic jam is

1. Bikes (inc motorbikes) and Cars stick their vehicles out in intersection waiting to turn, and cars on the main road has to drive around them, causing delay.
2. Bicycles and Cars drive to the opposite lane waiting to exit, blocking the whole road, so other cars that wants to drive into the road couldn't.
3. Cars don't travel on their lane, mainly because the slower bikes are in the way, and these slower bikes don't travel in straight line, moving in and out of traffics.
4. Small stalls selling foods on the road (why don't they move their stalls onto the footpath, it is safer for everybody).
5. The council put 200m barriers and a few fk-head drive on the opposite lane before the barriers start.

and off course, illegal parking.

It is the altitude and lack of consideration of majority of drivers (and this is not Tuk Tuk specific) that caused traffic issues.

The cops on the street are not doing their job, if you have a paper on the windscreen (don't know what those mean), the cops don't stop you. The cops on the road is their to make money.

We also need a demerit system in place.

Gridlock going nowhere fast

Despite Phnom Penh’s rapidly increasing traffic woes, it might take until 2035 for a public transport system in the Kingdom’s capital to be operational, government development partners said yesterday.

The Japan International Cooperation Agency, which has been working with Cambodia’s government since 2001 on an urban transport master plan, said yesterday further feasibility and data studies being undertaken would not be completed until 2014.

“The target year [for implementation] is 2035,” Seng Solady, JICA’s communications officer, said yesterday.

“[However], some projects may be implemented after the master plan is completed in 2014.”

According to JICA project documents obtained by the Post, traffic and transport conditions in Phnom Penh have become worse because of the rapid increase in the number of vehicles and motorbikes.

“The traffic problems . . . are diversified and cause many problems to the economic, environmental and living condition of urban residents,” the project document states.

“If this situation is left untouched, the traffic situation in Phnom Penh will soon reach a level that can hamper the desired economic growth and livelihood of the citizens.”

Phnom Penh deputy governor Chreang Sophan, who is working on the project, said the study stage was of the utmost importance.

“Phnom Penh has been developing fast, so the traffic situation is complicated. We, too, want to ease the traffic congestion,” he said.

Ministry of Public Works director-general of public transport Ung Chun Huor said the government was “worried” about the capital’s growing traffic problems.

“As the number of people increases and the economy grows, the number of vehicles will increase,” he said.

“A good solution is to have public transport.”

Phnom Penh deputy traffic police chief Chev Hak said the city needed to quickly find a solution for its traffic congestion problem.

2035 is way too long ! Are they planning on having a flying bus over Phnom Penh ?

why 2035? I don't know what source I should believe. Public Transport here is refering to Tram, Sky Train and Bus? I think Bus can't take so long to study like this...

2035 is way too long ! Are they planning on having a flying bus over Phnom Penh ?

13 years to do a study, maybe they need more time to clean the money they stole..

2035 will be the sort of timeframe to put a fully functional subway system in pp.

why 2035? I don't know what source I should believe. Public Transport here is refering to Tram, Sky Train and Bus? I think Bus can't take so long to study like this...

Tram or lightrail shouldn't take that long, Macau's lightrail is expected to complete bt 2015, I think.

pp is a bigger, but construction should not take any more then 10 years.

What ever mode of PT they want to use, what ever routes, the number one priority to solve congestion issues is to have a demerit system in place ans enforce.

For Tram or lightrail, I don't think it will be built in the next 5 - 10 years

2035 is just an assumption, he probably means it'll take forever Phnom Penh to have a decent public transport system in place.

Tram should be built next year

Let's see what's gonna happen

2035 is just an assumption, he probably means it'll take forever Phnom Penh to have a decent public transport system in place.
Hmm Disappointed i also want to mean that. I got headache just to see those taxi around Phsar Thmei. Maybe we are the most messy taxi place in the world :ohno:

question how are they gonna build any rail if the roads are already so crowded, considering cost the only option is underground rail, i dont think skytrain might fit since there the road is narrow and there are wires everywhere

Phnom Penh is not a big as Bangkor or Tokyo, so dont expect too much. I think the first priority is to have public bus route work between central and urban of Phnom Penh, second is to build skytrain from Beoung Kak area to airport. The airport passenger is currently at amost 2 million and should be double in another 5 years. The rest we can wait.

question how are they gonna build any rail if the roads are already so crowded,

Assuming you are also talking about tram/lightrail.

they can build it by closing a section of road at a time to install the track and supporting wire structure. Just like they close off a section of road at a time in the last 2 weeks resurface the road from airport to the bridge.

With light rail, the major concern is how are you going to operate it, the cars, bikes has no consideration with other traffics, and will continue to block the tram, shop owner is not going to be happy because it will mean there is no parking in front of their shop.

considering cost the only option is underground rail,

Underground rail is a good idea but expensive to build.

i dont think skytrain might fit since there the road is narrow and there are wires everywhere

I think the wires are least of the worry, the wires can always be diverted, and there are plans to clean it up and/or move it underground. But you are right about narrow roads, we need lots of columns to support the deck, we need lots of rooms for the stairs/lift to access the stations above.

The government can considered building a monorail system like the one in Sydney, it doesn't take up too much spaces :)

attention mod, please comment, give me an answer

The one in sydney is meant to be a tourist attraction, it is not even a serious public transport, it is expensive and still loose money, it is noisy, imo, an eyesore.

Maybe sydney should decommission it and donate it to Cambodia.

Yes, very few stations and the monorail system connected only to the major attractions in the CBD, is it possible to reduce the noise by replacing different types of wheels, such as rubber wheels?

Who knows, who would wants to put extra investment on something that is loosing money. The noise doesn't concern those few people that use it.

Interesting a few week after I said this, Sydney decided it will be pull down.

This morning's announcement by the Premier, Barry O'Farrell, and the Transport Minister, Gladys Berejiklian, came after months of negotiations with the shareholders of the company that owns the light rail and monorail lines.

The monorail will be torn down as soon as possible, Mr O'Farrell said, but that might be some time away.
"The real problem with the monorail, I think for most Sydneysiders, is that it doesn't actually go anywhere that you want to go," Mr O'Farrell said of the line, which opened in 1988.

and guess what, the NSW government doesn't know what to do with it yet.

I must be out of my mind, lived in Sydney hate the monorail to my guts, now lived in Phnom Penh and suggest to bring it over here.

Calm down...It is a good idea though for Phnom Penh.

this idea is really good we need a BRT

New bus company provides bus service from PP to Siam Reap since 5 May. Departure twice daily is at 8: 45 and 12: 30, n will has thrice daily next month. In 3 month, company will expand service to BBT, SHV, n KP. It charges $US 13 from PP to SR the most expensive price of all but it has aircon, speaker attached seat, wifi, n snack...

$13 to SR sounds very very expensive.

$13 to SR sounds very very expensive.

Perhaps a good service provided

$13 to SR sounds very very expensive.

Sydney to Canberra is $50 for 300km, remember bus costs the same, fuel cost the same the driver's pay is a minor thing, $13 for 400km is still very cheap

To me its not expensive at all...

Sydney to Canberra is $50 for 300km, remember bus costs the same, fuel cost the same the driver's pay is a minor thing, $13 for 400km is still very cheap

I think it cost me about $50 to drive to Canberra myself.

A coach use maybe 4-5 times more fuel, but carry 30-50x more people. (maybe not all the time)

I believe when look at cost, you compare to alternative, and there are much cheaper alternative, but after all, it is suppose to be a luxury service, so I suppose they can justify the price.

PS: I think Sydney to Canberra should cost only $35.

A new luxury bus service from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap has arrived in the Kingdom. Giant Ibis, named for the rare national bird of Cambodia, is a US$13 per seat bus service that started operations on May 5.

The cost, which may seem over-priced for Cambodia, is quickly forgotten when you enter the startlingly luxurious bus and stretch your legs in the entire metre of leg room available.

“Fantastic, the service was really wonderful,” said Tony, 48 of the luxury busses, and Virak, 24, said: “It was great. The best bus I have ever been on.”

Currently the service runs twice daily at 8:45am and 12:30pm, but spokesperson Vibol Yoy has said they plan to increase the number of bus services in the near future.

The fully air-conditioned busses offer reclining seats, wi-fi, a large TV with a full selection of movies and a sound system above each seat that can be manually turned on or off.

The bus provides drinks and snacks and will even provide breakfast for the morning service.

The fleet of six luxury Hyundai Universe busses, owned by Royal Cambodian limousine service, is focused on quality to customers.

“We provide extensive road-safety and customer service training to all our staff. Our focus is on allowing people to have a happy and safe time when they use our service,” said Yoy.

The name behind the company comes from the rare, and once thought extinct, giant ibis, known in Khmer as tror yorng and in 2005 was declared as the national bird of Cambodia.

The population of the birds is thought to number only about 100 in the Kingdom, which is the largest population in the world.

The company has stated that it will give three cents of each ticket to help save the endangered bird.

The bus service travels through Kompong Cham province and crosses a small town called Skun, which is famous for fried spider, and they are apparently eaten regularly, indeed every day, by the locals.

The spiders are bred in holes in the ground, and the taste has been described as “interesting” by tourists.

The bus service will offer the opportunity for the more adventurous of it customers to sample the fried spider as the bus passes through the town.

This is awesome. I used to use Mekong Express. Now, it has a competittion. I'd not mind to pay $13, if it is safe. Mekong Express have done a very good job in "safe driving".

Does anyone know if the company has a policy that it does not hire a driver who does not drink?

Do you mean it does not hire a driver who drinks?

It would be very unsafe "it has a policy that it does not hire a driver who does not drink." Drink and Drive should not be mixed. It is terrible if it has this policy.

Yes, that is what I meant. I heard of bus accidents happening so often in Cambodia.

Yes, that is what I meant. I heard of bus accidents happening so often in Cambodia.

I used to use Mekong Express company. It has a good record (at least through my experience). Drivers there follow the rules, one of which is no drinking on the job, of the company. They don't go fast, but on time as scheduled because they don't stop so many places. But, the buses are a bit older.

Drivers there follow the rules, one of which is no drinking on the job,

Not just on the job, they can not have any alcohol possibly up to 2 hours before they got on the job.

I think breath test should be introduce in Cambodia.

I think the company should hire only non-drinker.

I think the company should hire only non-drinker. Probably pretty hard with Khmer culture. And surely the driver will lie about it.

Not just on the job, they can not have any alcohol possibly up to 2 hours before they got on the job.

"breath test"? Maybe, it is hard to do that. Not sure if any bus company in the world has this test for its drivers.

I think screening and education should be practiced.

Probably pretty hard with Khmer culture. And surely the driver will lie about it.

Any culture, not just Khmer's.

Any culture, not just Khmer's.

Which part, the drinking part, or the lying part?

Most other place have anti discrimination law of some sort in place, so the hired only non-drinker will not be possible at the first place.

With the popularity of pubs (I am not sure pubs need to be licensed or if the industry is regulated), it seems it is a lot more common for the locals to have a drink or two, very frequently.

Drinking is not illegal, and if the local enjoy it, it is fine. But we need more education on Don't Drink and Drive. We need more penalty on Drink and Drive.

"breath test"? Maybe, it is hard to do that. Not sure if any bus company in the world has this test for its drivers.

I think screening and education should be practiced.

I means drivers should be subject to breath test randomly on the road.

A breath test for the passenger to see before the trip begin also sounds like a good idea to give passenger more faith, and I don't think is not hard to implement.

It takes years before Cambodia would have the will and mean to randomly tests drivers on the road.

I might miss understand your point. Do you mean that you don't think it is hard to implement or you think it is hard to implement because your sentence "I don't think is not hard to implement" seems unclear to me.

It takes years before Cambodia would have the will and mean to randomly tests drivers on the road.

We may not have the man power, but we can always start with 1, then 2, etc. Yes, whether the cops has the guts (or power) to stop big expensive car is the problem.


I might miss understand your point. Do you mean that you don't think it is hard to implement or you think it is hard to implement because your sentence "I don't think is not hard to implement" seems unclear to me.

Sorry, I meant to type "I don't think is too hard to implement."

The driver gets up, speaks to the passenger against a breath test device, "Welcome everyone, I am your driver, Jack, this is a luxury bus, I wishes you all enjoy your trip, and don't worry, I have not been drinking" and show the passenger the device is negative.

Several days ago, Mekong express just got accident ...

Several days ago, Mekong express just got accident ...

What is the nature of the accident? Wet Road? Drink Driving?

Sleepy driver ....

Sleepy driver ....

Fatique is another issue. But that is really difficult to avoid.

so you guys think random breath test is good, remember cambodia's traffic is already chao try delaying traffic for another 30 min, hmm

Most every month I heard bus accident had happened in Cambodia and sometime foreigner tourism also included... How to solved this problem since many peoples like to take bus than taxi....?

so you guys think random breath test is good, remember cambodia's traffic is already chao try delaying traffic for another 30 min, hmm

I don't understand how random test can delay by 30 minutes.

Random means the cops pick random people to the side, not 20 cars at the same time blocking the road.

^^ i remember on the one of the M motorways they did that

^^ i remember on the one of the M motorways they did that

But it only block one lane. Usually on the emergency lane on the side, not much of an issue.

Cambodia do need to seriously implemented anti-drink driving laws, penalty will also need to increase as you carry more passenger.

anyone like the electrified buses in North Korea

Good looking, but our sky is already full of cables. Might work better then tram/lightrail as the bus is probably more flexible to dodge illegally parked motocycle or road side mobile food store.

I don't even know where to put this... a bus thread should be fine.

I have never see a double decker bus in Phnom Penh before.

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/1194/20120523170449.jpg

^^ thats wierd because i have, it was one of the main bus companies, i think was on the way to Siem Reap, i think it was a paramount bus that i saw???

I see plenty fully enclosed air-conditioned tour bus, but never pay too much attention of what they are. There might be double-decker type, but from memory, I can't recalled seeing it on any of the PP road.

Now that you mentioned it, I pay a bit more attention, and I just saw paramount double deck bus you mentioned at about the exact same position.

I saw it once along the riverside with tourist on the top and it look similar to a city tour bus in Sydney. I dont think it is part of Paramount Bus company

SYSTRA pointing out the 2nd Phase of Results of Tramway Research
Tuesday, 03 Jul 2012 10:03

Phnom Penh Capital Hall has held its 2nd meeting with the Technical Committee for Public Transportation Research presided by H.E KEP Chuk Tema, the governor of Phnom Penh Capital Hall on June 28th , 2012 to discuss the 2nd research results of the first prioritized railway in Phnom Penh after having the last meeting on February 14th, 2012 .

According to the presentation of the French experts, Mr. Antoine Chevre and Mrs. Aurelie Jehanno discover that the traffic jam in the city is caused by the dramatically increasing amount of population and vehicles especially in the 4 suburb Khans. Phnom Penh has following economic growth yet the common transportation system for its people is still not realized. The research project of French’s SYSTRA Company showed the possibility of the infrastructure in Phnom Penh to set up the first line of a Tramway consisting of 5 options which the 5th one was chosen by the meeting's chairs. It was the option of which a line connected from Monivong bridge to Prek Pnov which will costs around 240 million dollars to 280 million dollars. However, only Tramway alone could not answer to the needs of the population and reduced the traffic jam in the city while public bus is also important.
Meanwhile, JICA representatives also noticed that the traffic problem has been studied for a long time and the key issue to refine the traffic in Phnom Penh is to install the tramway to modernize the living culture of the citizens in the city.

After the presentation and discussion, The Capital governor shares his gratitude to the French experts who did their best to come up with the 2nd phase output that is very important to send to the Royal Government for decision making. He added that, It was the time right now for Phnom Penh citizens to take up the common transportation system in order to reduce the traffic jam in the city. The governor also expresses his gratitude to the French Government for the effort and support to Phnom Penh Capital on this project. Based on this, Phnom Penh Capital Hall decides to establish common transportation system by bus under Phnom Penh - Paris Master Plan cooperation. Even though we have faced many challenges, we determined to have the common transportation system as well. If we don’t decide now, the traffic issue in Phnom Penh will be more complicated such as other countries. The governor also wished the citizens to think of using tramway and bus transportation in the future.

In this occasion, H.E Tram Yve Tek, Minister of Public Works and Transportation had recognized that the number of vehicles increased from day to day. If there was no solution, the traffic situation in Phnom Penh woud get more and more terrible as Bangkok and other cities. The Minister also added that only bus transportation is not enough. That is why, we should have the perspective to use the tramway that can bring many people rather than using their own transportation in consistency to the willing and effort of Phnom Penh Capital Hall to create the common transportation system latest in 2013.

Tram/Lightrail is a wonderful idea, and I hope to see it happen.

I think this is the best idea so far in term of wanting to reduce traffic problem in PP. I hope the central government would take action on this right away. It won't solve the problem completely, but at least it is a starting point to eventually solve it. I can't wait to see it happens every soon.

yeah, i hope it will evolved into more then just an idea. no developed city can solved its traffic issue. no reason to believe we will or we can.

Bus routes on their way to Phnom Penh
Monday, 01 October 2012 Kim Sarom and Rosa Ellen


Phnom Penh might have a bus service by early next year after City Hall named two bus companies to start running routes through the capital.

Lim Andre, chief executive officer of Global (Cambodia) Trade Development, who along with City Trans Cambodia beat a handful of competitors to win the licence, said his company plans to employ a fleet of 90 buses along four lines around Phnom Penh and from Takhmao, Kandal province.

“If the first operation is successful, our firm will expand another two lines operation,” he said.

Passengers could expect to pay about 1,300 riel for a bus fare along one route, Lim said, or buy a monthly ticket for US$11 with unlimited use.

The absence of a public transport system in a growing city of 1.5 million people has been the subject of much debate.

In 2001, the Japan International Cooperation Agency developed an urban transport master plan for Phnom Penh with a target year set for 2015. During this project, a citywide bus service was tried but struggled to compete with the established and affordable moto trade.

The entire master plan was eventually dropped, citing fast-changing traffic conditions and growth in the city’s suburban residential areas. In April the beginnings of another urban transport plan for Phnom Penh were made with a JICA research team and the government.

Long Dimanche, spokesman for Phnom Penh City Hall, said yesterday that the decision to tender the capital’s bus system to the chosen bus companies was made after consultation with research firm SYstar.

“Putting public buses in place will help ease traffic congestion, reduce costs and reduce the number of cars in the street,” Dimanche said.

The exact number of vehicles and bus routes, as well as a timeframe, had yet to be finalised, Dimanche said, but he expected the service to start in early 2013.

But introducing buses won’t necessarily ease traffic congestion, Ching Chhom Mony, Dean of Architecture and Urbanism at the Royal University of Fine Arts, said.

Bus stop locations had to be looked at to ensure frequently stopping buses didn’t add to traffic problems. A comprehensive network, however, would help people overcome their reliance on motos, he said.

Next question, how do you persuade people to use it.

^^ why not try another hun sen propaganda 4 hour speech, people will have to listen then and follow

i won't stop use my car and use bus ..
first, there are few lines only so It is hard to get where i want to go
second, i am not sure if bus is faster than my own car since the drivers in pp seems not respect the traffic law.

So own car is more beneficial

It might remove some moto-Tuk or Tuk-tuk off the road.

Yes because Cambodian not respect the traffic law or country law but just listen and follow Hun sen only.... 100%^^ then without him all people will become :nuts:

the fare is not that cheap either, because motodop is very cheap already, plus bus fares have a record of rising all the time, i remember 10 years ago a train ticket from fairfield to cabramatta is about $1 nows it s $1.70 and they are going to increase it by another 4% this year, bus are the same, nearly double

How much is motodop now? the advantage of motodop over bus is point to point service, they take you right to your front door.

Motodop will have to increase eventually as price of petrol goes up.

I don't think Australia price structure can be compare with price structure in Cambodia.

Motodop is more expensive compare to the price of a bus ticket. It usually cost around $2000 riel to $2 depending on the distance (This is the price they charge for the locals).

Where is this bus terminal going to be?

is there any update for this project?

Ground transport hub slated for capital

Local tycoon and CPP Senator Ly Yong Phat has announced plans to build a new bus terminal on the outskirts of Phnom Penh intended to serve as the capital’s ground transport hub. Ly Yong Phat said his LYP Group had invested about US$10 million in the project, planned to be opened in January or February of 2011. “I will build the bus station, and if bus companies and other passenger service providers park at my station, they have to pay us a set fee,” Ly Yong Phat said.

The terminal will have a capacity of 264 buses, 540 cars, 342 vans and 300 minibuses, Ly Yong Phat said, and will be constructed on 27 hectares of land in Russey Keo district’s Bak Kheng commune, which was formerly part of Kandal province’s Muk Kampoul district before being re-zoned earlier this year.

Ly Yong Phat has been involved in contentious land disputes in Oddar Meanchey and Kampong Speu provinces with villagers who claim to have been displaced by his development projects. Muk Kampoul district deputy police chief Koang Siphal said, however, that the land in Bak Kheng commune was uninhabited forest purchased by Ly Yong Phat several years ago. We will try to construct this after the first few phases of our satellite city outside of the city.

Local tycoon and CPP Senator Ly Yong Phat has announced plans to build a new bus terminal on the outskirts of Phnom Penh intended to serve as the capital’s ground transport hub. Ly Yong Phat said his LYP Group had invested about US$10 million in the project, planned to be opened in January or February of 2011. “I will build the bus station, and if bus companies and other passenger service providers park at my station, they have to pay us a set fee,” Ly Yong Phat said.

The terminal will have a capacity of 264 buses, 540 cars, 342 vans and 300 minibuses, Ly Yong Phat said, and will be constructed on 27 hectares of land in Russey Keo district’s Bak Kheng commune, which was formerly part of Kandal province’s Muk Kampoul district before being re-zoned earlier this year.

Ly Yong Phat has been involved in contentious land disputes in Oddar Meanchey and Kampong Speu provinces with villagers who claim to have been displaced by his development projects. Muk Kampoul district deputy police chief Koang Siphal said, however, that the land in Bak Kheng commune was uninhabited forest purchased by Ly Yong Phat several years ago. We will try to construct this after the first few phases of our satellite city outside of the city.





LOL, so it WILL open 2 years ago.

^^ more like 2021

how many non-stop services do we have to phnom penh that doesnt require a change of bus at the border?

I read in the Chinese paper "Global Trade Development" company has withdraw and will no longer work on the PP Bus Service, they say their is a lack of demand and is not happy to compete with Korean "City Trans".

Sad news :(

I still wonder though, whatever happened to the sky train project and ring road projecT?

Korean "City Trans"? Can you tell us more about this project :)

AD post the articles on 1st Oct that 2 company win the bid to run the services, this week, one of them drop out.

No one seems to know much about this 2 company.

Most company does not have a online presence, and it will be almost impossible to research anything about them.

^^ i believe they are just faking it

The government can set up its own company to run the city bus. This kind of investment is difficult to cover its costs only through fare revenue.

I agree, public transport should be run and operate by government. Government may need to review the tax structure to increase its revenue.

lol i was bored today so i emailed people from phnom penh gov about city public transportation systems. highly doubt they will reply

Guys! I cant believe it the people at the Capital Hall of Phnom Penh replied. They said that they are currently working on the transportation system. No Sky Train till the future. they said they will start planning on that when they start the construction of the new airport in Kampong Chhnang. Currently they are almost done all the planning of the City Bus.The public bus is on the process. Expect the Public bus to be here soon. :D

Single Company to Run Public Buses in Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh could have a public bus system operating under a single company before the end of 2013 at the earliest, Phnom Penh governor Kep Chuktema said yesterday.

Global (Cambodia) Trade Development, a joint venture between Cambodian and Chinese investors, had originally been chosen alongside South Korean company City Trans Cambodia to operate a public bus system, but a Global Trade Development official had said they wanted to work alone and will drop out of the bid. …

Motortup must be banned, at least in the major streets, for the bus service to work.

ok bus will be planned in 2035. (20+ yrs) from now.. let's count down..

:lol: ^^

Vientiane had city bus services now, yet phnom penh still doesnt.

Phnom Penh is taking a more serious approach. They will eventually have public transportation, but it will be on a larger scale than those available now in Vientiane. It will be a combination of elevated light rails and buses due to Phnom Penh's traffic congestion.

I believe that's one reason their traffic is not as bad as ours, they have to import more new buses anyway.

If people is willing to (or force to) use public transport, the traffic will not be so congested.

Elevated lightrail? I am not so optimistic.

While we start to talk about PT, and hopefully it becomes real, Vientiane will probably continue to improve.
