Metro in Phnom Phen

Post by Fridaywithmateo »

I am curious ... does anybody think they will do it?

Traffic is horrible already. Imagine if things come back to normal (as in pre-CV growth).

Just thinking out loud, but if I were HM, with all my assets, I would get it done inside 2-3 year window ... and then go from there.

But not hire locals ... hire the best of the best and cut no corners ... yes, talking about brining in an army of Japanese engineering.

The figured it out long ago.

Could work.

What kind of metro? Underground?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Thought the OP hated everything Japanese and would never use anything from Japan?

What would happen to all the tuk tuk & motodups when the India dress makers become station masters?
Though I don't like to stereotype, it reads as being apocalyptic :shock:

Nah ... none of any of that ... if Cambodia invests in metro systems, I think they can make this city competitive, with the right moves of course.

On Japan, my protest is strictly about tourism. Business is business.

Whatever. Good you can change your position as you see fit, but you did state previously that you would never purchase anything Japanese. But just a note to yourself, it appears Japan's metro system has done nothing to make it cities world class. In 2023, Japan had some of the worst traffic metro cities in the world:

14. Sapporo
25. Nagoya
27. Tokyo
56. Osaka

And what do you mean "make the city competitive"?
