''“For sure, the water taxi fares will be affordable as are city bus fares,” he said.

I would like to see how you can operate a boat for the same costs as a bus.
Yes, I know that is not what it says but the implication is there.

Strange. These boats remind me of the Saigon-Vung Tau boats, the left boat like the new ones they are currently using and the second, like the decades-old hydrofoil boat that was retired after fires and sinkings. Could be wrong, however.

There were always half a dozen or more parked up about a few hundred meters north of the jap bridge [ Photo taken from bridge about 2006 ]

Phnom Penh ferry service to begin on Friday
05 April 2018 | 17:29 ICT
A ferry service is set to open on Friday that will take passengers along the Tonle Sap and Tonle Bassac rivers, making three stops in Phnom Penh and one in Kandal province’s Takhmao City, according to a spokesman at the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT).

Transport Minister Sun Chanthol is scheduled to preside over the opening ceremony held at one of the four stops, near the capital’s night market in Daun Penh district. The other three stops are in Russey Keo to the north, and Chaktomuk and Takhmao City to the south.

“We will start with four initial terminals and continue to build more terminals,” ministry spokesman Va Sim Sorya said yesterday, noting stops would eventually reach as far north as Prek Pnov district.

The ferry service will temporarily be free for passengers, but will eventually transition to a paid system, Sorya said, adding he could not provide details on the schedule, price, or passenger capacity of the ferry service.

It's great that they covered the platform and the gangplank so that people won't stop using it in the rainy season.

Overcrowding, difficult to exit from in an emergency (narrow exit) probably no life-jackets or not worn...

People are going to die.

It's a go ! Services have started.
