    Good stuff. :thumb:


    Do you think we should also mention about the number or buses involved in accidents, or the robberies, attempted rapes, or . . .

    Detailed lists of bus companies, schedules and prices. The link also contains the addresses and contact numbers of the major companies.
    I presume it is kept up to date, but don't take it as gospel. Schedules in particular are subject to change.

    This site covers buses, trains, and boats and planes in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand:

    https://www.baolau.com/

    Using the search function is very handy for finding out all the various options that are available to get from point A to point B.

    I have never actually used it for booking anything though. I still like to go to a travel agent and talk to a person, preferably female.

    BookMeBus article:
    Is this the best way to travel across Cambodia?
    5 May 2017
    (CNN) - It's one of the easiest ways to get around -- but traveling by bus in Cambodia can be a confusing experience.

    "In Cambodia, in order (for people) to buy tickets, they had to go very far and buy their tickets from the counter," Chea tells CNN.
    "You can't just (go) to one place and find all the bus companies there ... You have to go to different places in order to buy each bus ticket.
    "We are trying to change the way people buy bus tickets in Cambodia."

    "E-commerce in Cambodia is quite new -- it has just emerged," Chea tells CNN. "Not many local people buy tickets online."Over 90% of BookMeBus users are foreigners, he says.
    Despite this, Chea says his company now works with 60% of bus companies in the country -- and hopes that Cambodians will embrace the technology...
