City Bus

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

PP has a huge traffic problem, with more people moving into the city every year. Eventually people will use the buses. Most importantly though, they should be trying out routes to all the major garment sectors. There's huge money in that. They can offer weekly passes at a discount, for frequent riders. Bus fare isn't that much more than they pay for those giant unsafe trucks.
I acrually doubt the part about the "huge money" there. most of the garment workers are transported to their workplaces and back home for free anyway.
It isn't free. If they're not paying for it themselves, the companies are paying. If the companies are paying the truck drivers, the companies can pay the government. Maybe give the (better) truck drivers jobs as bus drivers. The government increases revenue, the NGOs get to see the buses in use, and the workers get to go to work in air conditioned buses, as opposed to packed like cattle in the back of a truck. Everybody wins except the truck drivers who are out of a job... but those are the breaks!
