City Hall announced plans yesterday to ban long-haul buses from Phnom Penh by 2016, citing a need to reduce traffic jams and excessive crowds clogging up the capital.

In a meeting yesterday morning with Transportation Department officials and representatives of bus companies, City Governor Pa Socheatvong said all buses travelling to Phnom Penh from outside the city will have to establish new bus stations on the capital’s outskirts.

“It’s a good way to avoid traffic jams in the city caused by buses, and for crowds to be reduced,” he said. “The city is too crowded already as the population and the amount of cars and motorbikes increases day by day.”

Hey Pattaya - grab the idea and rid the town of those endless grid-lockers! And while you're at it, you might want to ponder some sort of public transport system...!

Yeah...absolutely right.

There is a plenty space around Pattaya to make buses depots and ease traffic.
