→Public transport
Cambodia has only one proper city so there's only one city with public buses and it's obviously Phnom Penh. Before covid there were 17 bus lines bringing people to the farthest outskirts. For two years during the pandemic they were all suspended and as of March 2023 only 5 lines are back and running. The vehicles are modern with AC onboard and they run between 5.30am and 8.30pm with an interval of 10-20 minutes depending on the line. One ride costs 1500 riel, cash only, no change given (late 2022).
Unfortunately you can't find Phnom Penh public transport on Google Maps, nor on Moovit app, however all the lines are visible on Openstreetmap and on a related app called [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand Osmand]. Lines 1, 2 and 3 have all the stops added and directions will work on these lines in Osmand app in the same way as in Google, showing connections and walking time between stops. Other lines don't work this way. There's also an [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camitss.phumiapp app ] provided by the PP City Bus Authority that shows all the 17 lines and most stops as well as live position of the buses from their GPS.
Besides buses there's plenty of three wheeler tuk tuks not only in Phnom Penh but all around the country. There are two apps used by locals to order a tuk tuk: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kh.com.passapp.passenger Passapp] and [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grabtaxi.passenger Grab]. With these apps you will know the price to your destination before ordering, so you don't need to worry about being ripped off. These apps don't work in every town. Prices start at 4000 riel (USD 1) for the shortest ride up to 1km and a distance of 10km should cost around 10,000 riel, or 2.5 dollars (late 2022).
