All transportation fluctuations are concentrated in two major cities: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Mr. Vu Ha - Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Transport said that in order to best serve the travel needs of the people, the Department has requested transport businesses and bus stations to quickly develop plans and arrange backup vehicles ready to clear the way when the number of passengers suddenly increases; and strengthen inspection and supervision of vehicle quality.
In Hanoi, some transport units requested the Hanoi Department of Transport to issue badges for 300 additional vehicles on the occasion of September 2nd holiday.
Bus stations in Ho Chi Minh City have fully prepared vehicles to meet the upcoming 3-day National Day holiday on September 2, with ticket prices not increasing by more than 40% compared to normal days.
A representative of the Eastern Bus Station said that they have proposed to the Department of Transport to adjust the fares for passengers during the National Day holiday on September 2. Specifically, the routes from Binh Dinh and the routes from the Eastern Bus Station to the provinces in the Central Highlands, Lam Dong, Dong Nai, Ba Ria Vung Tau, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc and the provinces in the Western region are proposed to increase the fares by no more than 40% from August 30 to August 31.
In other localities, the number of passengers on inter-provincial and inter-city bus routes also increased more than usual, but not too dramatically. Ticket prices are expected to not fluctuate much compared to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
