The most interesting bus route is vehicles are modern with AC onboard and they run between 5.30am and 8.30pm with an interval of 10-20 minutes depending on the line. One ride costs 1500 riel, cash only, no change given (late 2022). Unfortunately you can't find Phnom Penh public transport on Google Maps, nor on Moovit app, however all the 17 lines are visible on Openstreetmap and on a related app called [https://wwwplay.google.com/searchstore/apps/details?qid=openstreetmap+relation+line+03&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=openstreetmap+relation+line+03+Chom+Chav+Roundabout line net.osmand Osmand].
