What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Saly 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.
Fast and convenient ride with some short toilet and food breaks.

The travel was really nice and the car really clean. I put 4 star because we start our trip 30 minutes later.

They changed us to another bus what departure half hour later, so we have to wait more than one hour (you have to go early) and nobody sent an email and nothing to inform this. They said our original bus was full and they sell out our seats. (We had our check in and the confirmation already) They changed our seats in the new bus too, but after speak with the girl she give us the original seat in the new bus. Finally the bus arrived in time to the city

1pm bus was cancelled so we were moved on the 1:30pm bus. Staff was helpful and the driver was fast.

The vehicle was uncomfortable, seats too close to each other, the air conditionning was not working properly and I felt unsafe for almost all the trip. The driver used the horn continously during all the trip to over take any type of vehicle. Despite these problems, the bus arrived on time

The driver answered telephone cals several times while driving. He almost crashed another car while checking on his mobile.

Perfect trip, arrived in Battambang earlier than expected 4,5h. We were given water and stopped several times to go to the toilet.
The space between seats is very narrow, a minibus.
The only thing that is not well located on Google Maps the stop in Phnom Penh, you have to put in the search engine: Saly VIP (Phnom Penh).

Friendly and very good driver. Everything ran smoothly. The people at the desk were very helpful and with 12go.Asia I got all the details for the trip.

We had a bus with a kind of beds. They were quite comfortable. We arrived in time. Everything was clean. If travelling alone book a place in the single row, not on the side with two seats/beds next to each other as there is not much space between the seats.

AC was not strong. Very hot during trip. Driver not demonstrating safe driving. ( For eg, on phone while driving).

absolutely no leg room, luckily we could swap our two front seats next to the driver for the seats in the back row (the seat in the middle - right next to the driver - was literally just a board which you had to sit on), anybody over 1.5m does not fit into the seats

Bus was on time, only a little delayed at the destination.
We booked two seats in the first row to have a little more space for the legs. Due to a mistake from the company we had to sit elsewhere. The man at the counter told us, it won't be a problem because there is enough space too. Anyway the seats where way to small and very uncomfortable (not for people taller than 1,8m).
Also the aircon wasn't able to cool the vehicle down, so it was a sweaty 5.5 hours bus trip.

Good driver, I had the bus from Battambang to Phnom Penh. Comfortable seat, everything went fine. Only departed 30 minutes later then described, but not a problem for me.

they over booked on the van we had originally booked, so put us on the next one..assuming we’d have a similar van and same seats, not a problem! but when we got on, it was a big bus and we were squished in the very back, with the bumpiest seats. we also arrive over an hour late to our destination…
