According to our records, although buses have resumed operation, the number of passengers traveling to Vinh City and from Vinh City to districts and towns is still not much. This is basically because many people are still worried about the complicated developments of the epidemic, so they limit their travel.

On buses, transport units have also arranged bottles of hand sanitizer for people to wash their hands when getting on the bus.
