Free Public Buses for Five Days During Pchum Ben

PHNOM PENH — Oct. 7, 2026: Samdech Hun Sen has announced that public buses will be free of charge for five days during the Pchum Ben festival, from Oct. 9 to 13, 2026.

Under the arrangement, passengers can ride free of charge, with no registration required and no need to present an identity card or other documents.

Samdech Hun Sen invited members of the public — including elders, aunts, uncles, grandparents and all citizens — to make use of the safe and comfortable public bus service during the traditional Khmer holiday.

The initiative is intended to ease travel costs for Cambodians returning to their home provinces for Pchum Ben, one of the most significant observances in the Buddhist calendar.
