- Domestic Bus Routes -

There is no centralized bus station in Phnom Penh. Buses from different companies depart from different stations.
Some buses depart/arrive from the bus company office, others from remote bus stands such as market parking lots.
One of the largest bus stations in Phnom Penh - Phnom Penh Sorya Transport - is next to Phsar Thmey (Central Market), near the GST bus station and major taxi stands. Several bus company offices are also concentrated near Street 104 and Sisowath Quay on the riverfront. The rest are scattered around town. In most provincial cities, including Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, there is a centralized bus station from which all buses arrive and depart.

Generally speaking you can get off anywhere along the route. See Nearby Destinations for more on how to use these routes to explore some of the nearby ruins and historic sites.
The following bus schedules are not comprehensive, but do cover all of the major destinations and most of the major bus companies. Check with your travel agent or guesthouse/hotel for more bus schedules.

From a Travel Blog:

"Phnom Penh does not have a lot of green space but there are parks and my favourite is the Vietnamese Cambodian Friendship Park. During the day it is generally deserted because it is so open and hot but it comes alive in the late afternoon and night. It just fills up with people and there are soccer games and lots of families and then aerobic dancing. For 1000 riel you can join a group and try to keep in step. The leader wears a head set and counts off time over the music which is incredibly loud. Really fun to watch and join in. Cambodians love to dance and sing and wear bright clothing. So strange that the Khmer Rouge made everyone wear black pyjamas and singing and dancing was banned. As it gets dark the fountains light up and it is really pretty."
