Local minibuses and pick-ups aren't much fun and are best avoided when there are larger
air-con buses or faster share taxis available, which is pretty much everywhere. However,
they will save you a buck or two if you're pinching pennies.
Train
There are currently no passenger services operating on the Cambodian rail network, but
this should be seen as a blessing in disguise, given that the trains are extremely slow, trav-
elling at about 20km/h. Yes, for a few minutes at least, you can outrun the train!
Just for reference, Phnom Penh's train station is located at the western end of St 106
and St 108, in a grand old colonial-era building that is a shambles inside. The railway is
being overhauled and has been reopened to cargo services, so there may be the option of
passenger services at some point in the future.
