Phnom Penh
City Hall has purchased 40 secondhand buses from South Korea for an expansion
of the city’s fledgling public bus service.
City Hall
spokesman said the buses are slotted to arrive in Phnom Penh within the next 15
days, but said he could not disclose the cost of the buses or from whom they
are being bought. The service currently runs a 36-stop service along Monivong
Boulevard and the coming expansion will see new lines added. One will run from
Old Stadium’s parking lot to Russei Keo district’s Kilometr Pram Muoy commune and
another will connect the Chbar Ampov market to Kandal province’s Takhmao City.
The 40 buses ordered from South Korea will be capable of carrying between 60
and 70 passengers each and will be in operation in the city by August.
President
of Korean-owned Trans-Choice Cambodia, whose company was passed over by the
municipality in the initial bidding process, said that his company is still in
negotiations with the city to run its buses.
