The Transportation Ministry is launching two transportation services this week in order to accommodate those traveling ahead of Khmer New Year. The western railway service in Banteay Meancheay province, stretching about 48km beween Poipet and Serey Sophorn, will become operational as of today while the water taxis from Preak Pnov in northern Phnom Penh to Takmao city in Kandal province will start on Friday.

 

Ministry spokesman Va Simsorya said the services were Khmer New Year gifts for the Cambodian people. The rail service, run by Royal Railways, will be free until the end of July, while the ministry-controlled water taxi service will be the same.

 

There are five stations along the 25km waterway from Preak Pnov to Takmao and the service will take an average 35 minutes, Mr Simsorya said. “We set the deadline for launching the water taxi service, so we have a race against time to finish construction and launch the service on April 6,” Mr Simsorya said.
