(Baonghean.vn) – After a long Tet holiday, workers and civil servants returned to the provinces and cities to be on time for the first working day of the year and according to the concept, this year, the 6th day of Tet is a good day. Therefore, on February 13, the number of passengers traveling by train and bus increased dramatically; it is estimated that nearly 15,000 passengers departed from Vinh bus station and railway station.

On the 6th day of Tet, the number of passengers departing at Vinh bus station increased dramatically, about 2,000 more passengers than usual. |
 |
Some routes from Vinh to Da Nang, Saigon, and Hanoi are sold out, so Vinh bus station opened additional ticket sales; on February 13, 5 additional buses were added to serve passengers who need to travel on these routes. |
 |
However, some routes have few passengers and the bus station cannot arrange extra buses, so it is quite difficult for people to get tickets these days. Nguyen Van Bo's family took a bus to Thai Binh after a week of returning to his mother's hometown for Tet, but the buses on this route were full so they had to wait from early morning until noon; they had to take the Vinh - Hai Phong bus to go home. |
 |
Because of the large number of passengers, the bus station security force had to work hard to ensure security and order in the station. |
 |
Similarly, at Vinh Station, on the 6th day of Tet, it is estimated that there were about 7,000 train passengers (an increase of about 5-6 times compared to normal days). |
 |
Most families left their hometowns after the long Tet holiday. |
 |
During Tet holiday, many families with small children carry a lot of luggage so they often arrive early to wait for the train on time. |
 |
The number of passengers increases many times compared to normal days, so station staff are always busy guiding and helping passengers during peak days. |
 |
According to information from Vinh Railway Station, from February 13 (the 6th day of Tet) to February 15, the main train tickets to Saigon were sold out, and there were only a few Vinh - Hanoi train tickets left at night; most of them still had additional tickets. Meanwhile, at the train ticket counter, there were still quite a few passengers lining up to buy train tickets for the coming days. |
