The Ministry of Transportation is working on a comprehensive scheme on bus transportation, which will be submitted to the Prime Minister in late 2009 and implemented in early 2010

Under this scheme, specific policies encouraging the development of bus transportation in all 63 provinces and cities will be designed.

 

The goal of this scheme is by 2020, the bus system will serve between 15 to 20 percent of the total demand for passenger transportation in Hanoi and 10-15 percent in HCM City. By 2020, around 20 percent of buses will be handicap-accessible.

 

Forty-nine provinces and cities in Vietnam currently have bus systems. In Hanoi, buses account for around 7 percent of the total traffic volume and it is around 4 percent in HCM City.
