The government plans to provide limited free bus services on a first-come, first-served basis along National Roads 1 and 5 during the week of Khmer New Year, though how such a plan will be implemented remains unclear.

Sixty buses are set to run from April 12 to April 18 and will leave Phnom Penh at 5:30am each morning after their seats are filled, according to Phnom Penh City Hall spokesman Met Measpheakdey.

The city’s plan was in direct response to an announcement of a free bus service from Prime Minister Hun Sen on his Facebook page on Sunday, so Measpheakdey said City Hall would be using the next week to finalise their preparations.https://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/government-offer-free-bus-services-provinces-khmer-new-year
