The Hanoi Public Transport Management Centre will offer offline mode for virtual tickets for public transport from September 20 to make it more convenient for city’s commuters, its director Thai Ho Phuong said on September 18.

Hanoi's urban railway and bus systems transported more than 417 million passengers in the first three quarters of the year, equivalent to 96.4% of the set plan, and representing an increase of 56.8% compared to the same period last year.

The Hanoi Department of Transport has given the green light to the pilot of an electric two-wheeler sharing model to facilitate the transit of bus rapid transit (BRT) passengers.

A new project to improve citizens' access to public transport and limit the use of private vehicles is expected to improve the bus system in HCM City, according to the municipal Department of Transport.

HCM City plans to open private lanes for buses on two major streets to speed up operating time and attract bus riders, among other plans to ease traffic congestion.
