Is this the best way to travel across Cambodia?

It's one of the easiest ways to get around -- but traveling by bus in Cambodia can be a confusing experience. With more 60 bus operators in the capital city of Phnom Penh alone, the bus system has often proved difficult to navigate.

 

Founded in 2015, Langda Chea, a 27-year-old Cambodian native, quit a tech job to launch the online ticketing platform after becoming frustrated by the inefficiency of Cambodian bus travel. "In Cambodia, in order (for people) to buy tickets, they had to go very far and buy their tickets from the counter," Chea tells CNN.

 

"You can't just (go) to one place and find all the bus companies there ... You have to go to different places in order to buy each bus ticket. "We are trying to change the way people buy bus tickets in Cambodia."

Unfortunately, Cambodian bus drivers seem to learned to drive in Thailand... or is it the other way around? Whichever it is, they (think) they're supremely adept at going way too fast for the conditions and passing on blind corners.

Only brainless people would travel by bus in Cambodia.

Inefficiencies are the least of it (and not really that bad, plenty of hotels/guest houses can book for you)

 

It is the danger factor.

 

There was a fatal crash on the PP - Poioet route not long back, and others as well.

 

Theft on buses and even sexual assaults have been reported on some routes/with some companies.
