| At the end of the roads leading to the intersection, there are often buses picking up and dropping off passengers at the stops, contributing significantly to the long traffic jams here. Photo: Thanh Cuong. |

| "During other rush hours of the day, many buses pick up and drop off passengers at both ends of the intersection, blocking other vehicles and causing traffic jams," said Nguyen Ha Long (Le Loi ward) indignantly. Photo: Thanh Cuong. |
 |
| Not only "Maximark intersection" but also at many other traffic intersections in Vinh City such as: Dang Thai Than intersection, Ngu Hai - Quang Trung; Le Mao - Tran Phu... dozens of pick-up and drop-off points are installed too close to intersections, causing chaos and traffic insecurity.

| Nghe An has 9 bus passenger transport businesses with nearly 300 vehicles in operation. Along with that, hundreds of pick-up and drop-off points have been set up.

| In the 3km from Nghe An Endocrinology Hospital to Vinh market alone, there are 10 pick-up and drop-off points, each less than 300m apart on average. Some points are less than 50m from the intersection and nearly 200m from the other side of the intersection. Photo: Thanh Cuong. |
 |
| According to regulations on public passenger transport management, pick-up and drop-off points must ensure convenience and safety for passengers and not obstruct other vehicles. Photo: Thanh Cuong. |
 |
| However, at many stops, buses lined up in long lines across the intersection, blocking other vehicles from entering to pick up and drop off passengers. Photo: Thanh Cuong. |
 |
| The use of buses for transportation is increasingly chosen by people. However, in public passenger transport by this means, the system of pick-up and drop-off points plays a very important role. This is not only a place for people to catch the bus, demonstrating urban civilization but also contributing to ensuring general traffic safety. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
