Thai transport quotas to rise
Cambodia and five other countries that share the Mekong River have agreed to open their borders to more commercial truck and tourist bus traffic as part of a transnational agreement aimed at promoting regional logistics and tourism, a senior transport official said on 19 July. Chem Chomnan, president of the Cambodian Bus Association, said the regional transport agreement was “fair and balanced”, and beneficial for both commercial and passenger transport. The new quota with Thailand will increase the number of buses licensed for cross-border trips, improving costs and services for consumers and encouraging more travel.
