After the Lunar New Year, many companies in both the South and the North proactively hired buses to transport workers to ensure they could return to work on time, while students at universities in Hanoi were on holiday until after the 10th day of the first lunar month, so some inter-provincial bus routes were not as fully booked as in previous years.
