The public will have access to free-of-charge public bus service in Phnom Penh and back and forth between the capital and provinces during the upcoming Khmer New Year.

The announcement was made in a letter issued by Phnom Penh Administration on April 3, adding that 345 buses will be used to provide the free service on April 13-17.

The three-day celebration of the Khmer New Year, the Year of Rabbit, will start on April 14.

Flocks of people are set to return to their homeland, go to pagoda, travel to different tourism destinations, and join various entertainment activities to observe the New Year.

The Royal Government annually provides the free bus service to help reduce people’s travel cost during one of the biggest holidays of the country.
