== Public Transport ==
Since 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 2014 2022). Unfortunately you can't find Phnom Penh now has public transport on Google Maps, nor on Moovit app, however all the 17 lines are visible on Openstreetmap and on a very small bus network of three routes. The most interesting is related app called [https://wwwplay.google.com/searchstore/apps/details?qid=openstreetmap+relation+line+03&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=openstreetmap+relation+line+03+Chom+Chav+Roundabout line net.osmand Osmand]. Lines 1, 2 and 3] along ''Confederation de la Russie'' between have all the night market by stops added and directions will work on these lines in Osmand app in the river same way as in the east Google, showing connections and past 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 airport to PP City Bus Authority that shows all the Choam Chao roundabout.The bus is air-conditioned, comfortable, 17 lines and not crowded. Tickets are KHR 1,500. Otherwise you can use Tuk-Tuks or motorbike-taxis to leave most stops as well as live position of the citybuses from their GPS.
Besides buses there's plenty of three wheeler tuk tuks. 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. 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).
