Enhancement for public transport

During the meeting, Chan Kosal, undersecretary at the ministry, presented several projects currently under consideration, including a high-speed rail line, an automated gateway transit project, a subway and a monorail.

The government’s goal, he said, is to attract investment from the private sector or cooperation with development partners to improve the Kingdom’s transportation sector.

Public Works Minister Chanthol has indicated on several occasions that the ministry is looking for development partners in the public transport sector to reduce traffic congestion and improve the living standards of residents in the Kingdom’s urban areas.

The cable car can mean an environmentally friendly form of public transport for Combodia and reduce traffic congestion. At present, the possibilities, advantages and features of the ropeway project are being studied.
