Phnom Penh Municipal Hall has prepared 350 public buses to transport people from Phnom Penh to their hometowns during the general election which will fall on Sunday, July 23, 2023.
The public buses will be available in ten different locations in Phnom Penh for three days – from July 22 to 24, said H.E. Khuong Sreng, Governor of Phnom Penh, in a meeting held here on July 18.
Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen has recently ordered Phnom Penh Municipal Hall to deploy the state’s public buses to transport people from Phnom Penh to their hometowns, underlining that the transport service is free of charge and without political discrimination.
The Premier also asked the provincial administrations to work with the Phnom Penh Municipal Hall and the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training to identify the number of buses and drivers needed by each province.
All civil servants, workers and employees will have three days of paid leave from July 22 to 24, 2023 so that they can go to the July 23 poll.
