Transport
Phnom Penh International Airport (Phnom Penh) is the largest and busiest airport in Cambodia. It is located 7 km (4.3 miles) west of central Phnom Penh. Taxis, pick-ups and minibuses leave Phnom Penh for destinations all over the country, but are fast losing ground to cheaper and more comfortable buses. Phnom Penh also has rail service.
A street scene in the city centre
There are two bus companies, Phnom Penh Public transport and GST Express, servicing to Sihanoukville, Kompong Chang, Udong & Takeo.
Also Phnom Penh Sorya Transport Co. offers bus service to several provincial destinations along the National Routes as well as Ho Chi Minh City. Motocycles are a popular form of quick travel in the city streets.
Although the city is 290 km (180 miles) from the sea, it is a major port on the Mekong River valley, and it is linked to the South China Sea via a channel of the Mekong delta in Vietnam

Inside Phnom Penh: Getting Around
Phnom Penh is designed in a gid fashion, with several main circles surrounding famous wats and city centres. Most of the main sites are surprisingly spread out in this city so it is advised to plan ahead. Some of the sights can be seen on foot while others will require a short bus, moto or taxi ride to get to.
Buses are the most frequent means of intercity transport for locals in Cambodia. All buses are run by the government; for those who must stick to a strict budge while traveling should consider using the buses to get around. Also, service taxis are another economical way to travel around Phnom Penh. Self-driven cars can be hired from the Directorate of Tourism, Cambodia. Taxis are widely available throughout the city so visitors should just look out of the white signs on their roofs. Both buses and taxis are a good way to get familiar with the lay out of the city.
Locals normally use automobiles, motorbikes and buses. Also, tourists can be seen riding the Cycle rickshaws ("cyclos"), although some visitors may feel guilty seeing their diligent carrier sweat while carrying their weight in the steaming heat. Rickshaws (for good reason) tend to be a little bit more expensive that the other forms of transportation.
Like other parts of South East Asia, many motorbikes offer rides to tourists for a cheap rate. However, this mode of transportation should be reserved for the more daring, adventurous types. The traffic laws (or lack there of) can easily scare off passengers as well as the lack of safety regulations on these machines. Anyone wearing dangling clothing like a scarf or skirt should not risk riding on the back of the motorbikes; while the view and breeze may be good, the risk of being catch or suddenly pulled off is simply not worth the rush. Also, travelers should mind their purses, bags or cameras while on the motorbikes.

Phnom Penh International Airport (www.cambodia-airports.com) is the gateway to the Cambodian capital. It is located 7km (4.3mi) west of central Phnom Penh, via Russian Blvd. Taxi drivers charge a fixed price to take you to one destination in town. Official motos (motorcycles with drivers) also have fixed prices, but you can pick one up cheaper outside the airport. The journey takes around 30 minutes.
There are numerous fast boat companies that operate from the tourist boat dock on Sisowath Quay, at the eastern end of Ph 106. Boats go to Siem Reap up the Tonlé Sap river.
Most major towns in Cambodia are now accessible by air-con bus from Phnom Penh.
Taxis, pick-ups and minibuses leave Phnom Penh for destinations all over the country, but are fast losing ground to cheaper and more comfortable buses. Train travel is cheap but very slow. |
