WHAT'S IN A NAME?
For obscure reasons, two Phnom Penh bus companies are known by different names in the provinces:
Virak Buntham (known as Kampuchea Angkor Express elsewhere) and GST (known as Liang US Ex-
press elsewhere). In this topic we use the Phnom Penh name in Phnom Penh, and the local name as
appropriate elsewhere. In addition, Rith Mony is still sometimes referred to as Paramount Angkor, its
former sister company (now off the road after a series of accidents).
Express Van
Speedy express vans (minibuses) with 12 to 14 seats serve popular destinations like Siem
Reap and Sihanoukville. These cut travel times significantly, but they tend to be cramped
and often travel at very high speeds - not for the faint of heart. Several of the big bus
companies also run vans, most famously Mekong Express. It's a good idea to book ex-
press vans in advance.
