Cambodian Government Plans to Build Sky-Train in Phnom Penh

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Bwahahahahahaha!

Saw this and laughed ... "First give them.shoes!"
Melvin Udall: Never, never, interrupt me, okay?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

City to have mass transit system in place by 2023
Cambodia will have an automated gateway transit system (AGT) ahead of 2023 – when the country is due to host the Southeast Asian Games – with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on track to complete the feasibility study by May next year, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT).

The AGT – an electric-powered mass transit system with coaches – will modernise public transport in the city and help reduce traffic congestion.

Transport Minister Sun Chanthol, who is now in Japan leading an MPWT delegation, recently visited the Yokohama Seaside Line Company, the operator of Tokyo’s AGT, to learn about the transit system and how it would work in Cambodia.

“AGT is a light-weight train that runs quietly on rubber tyres, reducing noise and vibration with maximum speeds of 60 kilometres per hour,” he said.

Following the visit of Prime Minister HE to Japan in August 2017, Japan agreed to provide assistance to Cambodia to build an AGT system in Phnom Penh.

To put things in perspective, this is a thread on the subject from 2014. It's good to be able to look back and see how much the situation has evolved.
