Nguyen Van Nam, a professional electric vehicle driver during the tourist season, said: “From the April 30th holiday onwards, Cua Lo starts to get crowded with tourists. Before that, I took the opportunity to maintain my vehicle to be ready for the season. For the past two days, we drivers have been overwhelmed with work. If there are enough seats, the fare is 10,000 VND per person per trip. Usually, tourists come in families or groups of about 10 people.” (Photo: Phuong Thuy) |
