Just in case anyone needed another reason not to use them.

Use them quiet a bit and never had a problem but then I only use the vans and not the buses.
Re: Vireak Buntham Bus Overturns in Mondulkiri
I use them a lot and they're pretty bad, but they're also the most convenient service available from the Northeast. Making a 10 hour trip in a van regularly ain't much fun, doing the same trip on a sleeping bus is much easier.
In a year I've experienced two problems with them. One time the night bus hit a small boy crossing the highway to look at a wedding (yes, I did wonder what a 6 YO boy was doing crossing a highway at 9.30 PM....) and another time their bus broke down somewhere between Skun and Kampong Cham. Both times the travel time increased to 14-15 hours. Not funny. But both times the company solved the problem by arranging replacements to get us where we needed to go. So kudos for that.

I live in the northeast also. While they may not be the greatest, they are the best available. Some of the competitors are really scary.

True, but if you live you will escape the hordes of our northernmost neighbors.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Per all the bus complaint threads I've seen, this bus company is the one to avoid

I told some guests not to use VB, and they later told me "we Googled the bus companies and all of them have comments saying "don't use this one!""jaynewcastle wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 12:24 am Per all the bus complaint threads I've seen, this bus company is the one to avoid
But VB is the worst of a mediocre bunch.
Personally I stick with Cambodia Post VIP now.
