What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Vibol Express?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.
Easy quick trip and the company operating it was very friendly.

We arrived 45min late because of the road conditions

The driver forgot to stop at the airport. But luckily we saw it on the way so we were able to ask him to stop.

There was only me with the driver, they still made the trip. We got to listen to music and even though he didn't speak much English we managed to communicate.
Great guy! Be prepared because the road is rough at some points

Critical condition of the minivan. Windshield shattered, all warning lights lit up on the dashboard, doors jammed and could not be opened from the inside. The driver was good but the vehicle is an imposition. The fact that it is used to transport tourists is critical.

The trip was spot on. Left on time, minivan wasnt full so we had plenty of space. Staff in the office made sure we got off at the appropriate stop for us.
The road is pretty awful but the driver was very sensible and made it as comfortable as he could.
No complaints, would recommend highly.

The AC was broken. Some seats defective and overheated from the engine (windshield could only be touched with burns in some places)
Bus also started and arrived too late

Election day so departure was brought forward by an hour, a very understandable situation. Pick-up at the hotel very much appreciated. On the other hand, the van is no longer in very good condition and not very clean. The driver was more often on his phone than on the road.

Bus left reasonably on time and was only a 30 minute journey. It obviously didn’t matter for such a short journey, but the two buses we took for this day trip with Vibol (Kampot to Kep return) were oldest/dirtiest (due to age/cleaning, not trash) minivans we’ve travelled in in Cambodia (comparing with 4-5 journeys with one other company, then 1 journey with another).

*Friendly staff (speak almost no English).
* Bus is in poor condition (no air conditioning, cup holders broken, with seats the nights burst open, curtains soiled, windows can not be opened, etc.).
*Driver drove well (The route is very bumpy for about 45 - 60 min).
* 2 stops (refueling & taking other people with us).

The driver had a motorcycle inside the van and was trying to fit 15 people with baggage. It was crammed, hot and over loaded. After 20 minutes of juggling he realised this is not going to work. Thank goodness

We booked Vibol express bus van via 12go website from Kampot town to Sihanoukville boat port. Purchase online was easy to book seats and pay with foreign card. Scheduled to leave at 8:15 am and arrive at 11:15 am. We left as soon as the bus was full, just after 8am, and arrived around 10:30 am, which was great to have enough time to buy boat tickets. We checked in with our printed tickets which was super easy but they also seem to accept digital which is more convenient for travelers. The road was partially under construction midway through the journey so the traffic had to move a little slower and a slightly bumpy ride, but altogether reliable journey. The van was a little older but AC worked and temperature inside decent (it was the morning journey so it wasn’t too hot then anyway) . No rest stops on the 2 1/2 hour journey so be prepared for that. The office in kampot was basic and had only a few seats for waiting, so we went to the nearest restaurant 5 minutes down the road instead. Seats were small but Ok for the distance. Dropoff right in front of the Sihanoukville port (not in town as it stated on the ticket) which super convenient when catching boat. The port side had a small restaurant stand and toilets. Boat office provide free loos, restaurant side is a paid service at 1000 Reil.

We were told our bus had "broken down" and they were going to send us to another operator. Our bus was supposed to depart at 1030 and the new one left at 1100. They sent us to Kim Seng Express. They didn't honour our seats so we got stuck right behind the driver, which gave us a front row seat to one of the worst/ scariest drivers. Legit, we were surprised he didn't cause an accident. He also had a passion for honking the horn.
It was disappointing that Vibol cancelled, especially because we chose this company since it would be closer to our connection stop in Phnom Penh. When we arrived on Kim Seng, they obviously didn't take us to the Vibol stop. All in all, disappointed.

Vehicle had to stop several times to pour in coolant and oil, and then they left us without telling us that they would be back in a half hour for lunch which was a bit surprising. But overall it was decent. I got where I needed to go and the AC worked well enough I didn't overheat.

The knowledge of English at the station as well as in the bus made me a bit unsure because at the start I seemed to be the only passenger getting on (the rest turned out to be picked up) and I wanted to get out at the airport but the driver didn't seem to understand (I had to say stop myself in the end). He was very friendly thought but connecting to my flight was very important to me of course.

We booked a vip mini bus for 15:45. Firstly the bus was 1,5 hours late. Then, it was a bus shared with many other locals which stopped basically every 45 minutes and took 6+ hours to get to sihanoukville. It also did not have wifi like it promised on the advertisement.
