History

The service is managed by the Phnom Penh Municipal Government. It is the second attempt by City Hall authorities and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) to launch a public bus service in Cambodia. A similar project 13 years ago was scrapped after just two months due to a lack of passengers. * October 1, 2018 the City Hall launched 5 new lines on October 1, in addition to the previous 8 lines, giving a total of 13 city bus lines. Alteration and addition are as below: ** New lines: Line 4C, Line 10, Line 11, Line 12, Line 13. ** Lines with routes altered: Line 1 changed and separated to 1A, 1B; Line 2; Line 4B; Line 5; Line 6; Line 7; Line 8.
