Water taxi from Phnom Penh to Takhmao to open in April
13 March 2018
A new water taxi will open next month to carry commuters and tourists between Phnom Penh and Takhmao, the biggest city in Kandal Province.

Four boats able to carry between 45 and 60 people each will make the 45-minute trip from Prek Phnov in far northern Phnom Penh to Takhmao along the Tonle Sap and Tonle Bassac rivers, with 15 stops in between, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation.

The fare was not announced at Saturday's presentation on the project.

Kong Ratanak, of the Institute for Road Safety, said the water taxi service could help unclog the streets and reduce traffic accidents.

"It is very, very congested, especially near the bridge headed to Takhmao," Ratanak said. "If we can have a waterway for the city, that would be wonderful."

New transport links ready for KNY
4 April 2018
The water taxis from Preak Pnov in northern Phnom Penh to Takmao city in Kandal province will start on Friday, 6 April 2018. Ministry spokesman Va Simsorya said the services were Khmer New Year gifts for the Cambodian people.
[The service will be free until the end of July.]


There are five stations along the 25km waterway from Preak Pnov to Takmao and the service will take an average 35 minutes, Mr Simsorya said.

“We set the deadline for launching the water taxi service, so we have a race against time to finish construction and launch the service on April 6,” Mr Simsorya said.

Once operational, three boats will be used at a time out six boats. Each can carry 60 passengers. “We have not decided the boat fares yet,” Mr Simsorya said.

Minister Sun Chanthol said last month that discussion of water taxi fares would be continuing. “For sure, the water taxi fares will be affordable as are city bus fares,” he said.
