Rong Chhun, President of the Cambodian Federation of Unions, called on taxi drivers, as well other transportation companies in the city not to raise their passenger transportation fees during the upcoming Cambodian New year. Rong Chhun made this call yesterday in view of the upcoming Cambodian New Year which will be celebrated between 14 and 16 April. In general, prior and following the New Year celebration, passenger transportation companies tend to increase their fees by a large amount. Rong Chhun told The Phnom Penh Post on Thursday: “I hope that those who are running tourist taxis and passenger transportation companies will provide the opportunity so that factory workers, teachers and the general public can travel to celebrate the upcoming Cambodian New Year without having to pay increased fees.” However, an official for the Phnom Penh Soriya transport company, located near Phsar Thmei market, said that his company plans to raise their fees for the upcoming New Year festival. Other transportation companies will also follow suit.
