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 Pchum Ben Festival.
This morning, H.E. Khuong Sreng, Phnom Penh Municipal Governor, accompanied by his colleagues, saw people off at a bus stop in Khan Russey Keo.
A total of 455 buses are used to provide the free service in Phnom Penh (60 buses) and back and forth between the capital and provinces (395 buses) between Oct. 12 to 16.
The service is aimed to reduce the people’s travel expenses during the traditional Pchum Ben Festival, which will fall from Oct. 13 to 15.
