While tuk-tuks offer fair rates for temple circuits, Siem Reap's first public bus service runs 9 times daily from River Park bus stop to Run Ta Ek for just 1000 riels ($0.25). Service starts 6am, last bus 4pm — Perfect timing before temple visits.

Bus stop is right at River Park near Old Market where you'll see the Royal Residence and massive fruit bats in trees above. Clean buses with wheelchair access coming in 2024 when the full e-bus system launches with 37 electric buses covering 3 routes.

Save tuk-tuks for actual temple touring where their driver knowledge adds value. Use buses for getting between accommodations, markets, and central Siem Reap without the constant exhaust.
