People gathered at designed bus stops early this morning to get on the public buses provided free of charge by the Royal Government during the Khmer New Year celebrations.
H.E. Khuong Sreng, Phnom Penh Municipal Governor, accompanied by his colleagues, saw people off at a bus stop in Sangkat Chroy Changvar, Khan Chroy Changvar.
Some 345 buses are used to provide the free service in Phnom Penh (70 buses) and back and forth between the capital and provinces (275 buses) between April 13-17.
The service is aimed to reduce the people’s travel expenses during the traditional Khmer New Year, the Year of Rabbit, which will fall from April 14 to 16.
