There is no official, public bus station system in Phnom Penh, rather each major bus company has its own station, the largest of these being the Sorya station (wm: WM9K48), near the central market, however, there are other sizeable bus companies and stations. The largest of this latter group is found on the Mekong River front, near Street 104 and Sisowath Quay. The largest of these companies is Virak Buntham, which has services to all the major and most of the minor towns in the Kingdom.
The small company offices here have a ticket counter, and a tiny waiting area (usually one simply stands around outside). There is no food or drink as such sold here, but there are many small shops and street food vendors in the vicinity. These buses seem to carry a great deal of freight.
