Transportation options include: Tuk tuk (Remork moto), Cyclo, Bus, Taxi and Train (very limited).
For travel between Kep & Kampot provinces and other provinces, the most economical mode of transport is by bus or mini-van. There are many bus companies, private taxis and mini-van operators in Cambodia. However, it is difficult to determine who owns the large bus companies, and how safe the locally owned transport operators are. Road safety is an issue in Cambodia so I looked at recommendations from other tourists and ex-pats to help me decide whom to use.
For short journeys, if you are travelling with a small group of people, a private taxi may be a good option as you can share the cost.
If you want to book your transport in advance, the easiest way to do it is online:

For journeys within the city, you can take a tuk-tuk or air-conditioned taxi. There are lots of them and it is easy to find reviews about them. Getting around by tuk tuk
