PHNOM PENH - 20 new city buses, a grant from the Government of Japan, were inspected by HE Mr. Khuong Sreng, Director of Phnom Penh Board of Governors, on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 4, 2018. The number of bus services in the capital is set to increase in order to ease the traffic congestion.

Free Wi-Fi boost for buses

Public buses in Phnom Penh are to get free Wi-Fi in the pilot phase of an operation to increase convenience for passengers.

Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority, which operates the buses, says it will cooperate with the Space Media company to install Wi-Fi routers for passenger to use as they ride in safety and comfort.

City Hall spokesman Met Meas Pheakdey said the installation was just part of a pilot project before the full operation was brought in later.

“It is a pilot project and we don’t have more information now,” Mr Meas Pheakdey said. “When it is installed and works well, we will install the Wi-Fi routers in all the buses.”

Earlier this month, 155 city buses were outfitted with payment machines for Wing cards. Phnom Penh residents can enjoy unlimited free rides on city buses until July 31.

In January, Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng said City Hall was losing about $150,000 every month covering the costs of staff and other expenses to support public bus services.

In same event they also said Booyoung & Korea will donate 60 buses to Sihanoukville later this year. Sihanoukville administration has already started to plan the bus routes.

if i see the amount of Hyundai trucks (and buses) driving around in KOW, it must have been the price/quality ratio which is better then others.
But ofcourse a 30 year old hyundai ist better then a new chinese one !!
As your flag says central african republic, o think they would be very happy in your hometown with new Hyundais !!
