Cambodia's future transportation
Cambodia's future transportation
Lets have some useful discussions about this unfortunate city. Are there any transportation experts here? I want hear your takes about Cambodia's future transportation basically in Phnom Penh. Do you think metro is suitable for Phnom Penh or can metro be built in Phnom Penh?
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: Cambodia's future transportation
Metro is most likely too expensive for Cambodia for long time. I think the best option for Phnom Penh would rapid bus network, like they have in Brazil and some cities in Philippines. Own seperate roads with stops/stations. Much cheaper option then rails and can be build much faster as well.

Of course it is. It costs next to nothing to throw poor people off their land.

Re: Cambodia's future transportation
PP will be such a traffic nightmare in 10-15 years if something is not done in near future about the public transport. Pollution etc. will be so bad that those who now own the land central area, might not even want to live there. And even if they pay "well" for the people for the land, it would still come cheaper than metro. Metro is extremely expensive to build. Expecially in place like PP. And of course those roads could be build in air, like skytrain.table42 wrote:"Own seperate roads with stops/stations. Much cheaper option..."

What is this foreign concept of giving a f about the 'public'?

Unfortunate??? Shit, it's hopeless!
This response is right on "What is this foreign concept of giving a f about the 'public'?"
The public is whoever you can step on so that the powerful rich become even richer. Get your head outta yr.ass; it was too late years ago. Cambodia is a country with absolutory no future at all. It keeps its delusions by stoking the fires of the past and by pimping Angkor Wat as a vision of the future. You ought to contribute to TripAdvisor.com. They'd love a native telling them everything is fixable.

It's a great idea and I hope they pursue it, although there will obviously be some forced evictions if land owners won't sell. The existing train tracks are less than 2km from the airport terminal, but there is no "vacant land" route from there as he suggested for a train to get to the actual airport. Their best bet may be to build a new train station at Street 105K and begin regular shuttle bus service for the last 2km. The taxi drivers will fiercely and violently oppose it, though.
A '' sky train '' would work better. Following the original train track, but above it . Pillars on each side of the track, and rail line on the cross piece that joins the two pillars. The advantages of this , a ''light rail '', system is it does not interfere with any other traffic. No dogs cows or Lexus to get in the way. Does not take any extra land, and the system can be all automated, run from a office with CCTV, and not even needing a driver .

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I detect a certain slithering venom laden presence in this thread that is distinctly familiar.
