This will all be done after they have organized a rubbish collection service in PP.

Considering this is one of those pie-in-the-sky dreams the ones in power seem to love I doubt it'll see the light of day.

But if it were then Route 2 seems the best cost effective option.
1: it's the shortest route.
2: it utilizes land the existing, but defunct railway line, so once you clear the illegal homes off the railway line it's almost a clear run to the airport.
3: given 1 & 2 it would be the cheapest option and leave enough wiggle room to siphon off enough $$ to build that holiday home down south or buy wife no.2 a new motor.

Having been to Shanghai this year, I can confirm that a Maglev train from the airport to the Riverside would be an excellent idea too.

Both times I've got a taxi from the airport to the Riverside, its taken nearly a hour, which is ridiculous, as its only 7km's apparently. A Maglev train would do this journey in probably under 2 minutes

It would also encourage many more Chinese tourists to visit Phnom Penh too.

Skyline? Would this be something like the elevated trains in Bangkok?

They did that quite a few years ago. My rubbish is collected daily.
