The Bangkok Mass Transmit System (BTS) will build two electricity sky train lines in Cambodia's Phnom Penh City, Chinese News Agency quoted local media as saying on Wednesday.
BTS plans to invest 500 million U.S. dollars to this project, May Vuthy, representative of the BTS Company to Cambodia, was quoted by Cambodian-language magazine Star as saying.
One seven-km sky train line is from Japanese-Cambodian Friendship Bridge to Monivong Bridge, May Vuthy said, adding that another eight km line is from the Central Market to Steung Meanchey, the garment industry hub.
The Cambodian government and BTS from Thailand have studied about the project and they will cooperate to build it, the magazine added.
According to the plan, BTS will build the project from 2008 to 2011, May Vuthy said, adding that the two-way sky train lines will run from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with about one dollar for a ticket.
"When we have the electricity sky train lines, it will help to reduce the traffic jam", Deputy Governor of Phnom Penh Chreang Sophan said, adding that it will attract more tourists.
