A Chinese
company will donate 100 buses to assist in the planned expansion of Phnom
Penh’s public bus service from three to 10 lines next year.
According
to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between City Hall and the local government
of Zhengzhou, the capital of China’s Henan province, Chinese bus manufacturer
Yutong will provide the buses, which the company values at $70,000 each. Last
month, deputy chief of the municipal transport department’s transport office,
said the bus line had so far led to losses of $25,000 for the municipality.
The first
of the existing lines runs along Monivong Boulevard, with a stretch connecting
Old Stadium and Kilometer No. 9 on National Road 5 in Russei Keo district. The
second line runs between the Night Market on Sisowath Quay and Takhmao City in
Kandal province. The third line connects the Night Market with Choam Chao
commune in Pur Senchey district.
