   |
The roofing system, lighting and guardrails at the pedestrian bridges along Metro Line 1 have been completed, creating a safe and convenient space for people to move. In recent days, quality inspection and assessment work has been carried out to ensure that everything meets standards before being put into use. |
   |
The construction of motorbike and car parking lots at the stations of Metro Line 1 is also being accelerated to meet the needs of the people when it officially operates. These parking lots are built in convenient locations, near the stations, making it easy for passengers to move around and park their vehicles before boarding the train. |

The urban railway is built next to the overpass and road system, creating a synchronous and modern traffic network for Ho Chi Minh City. |

The new Eastern Bus Station is the last station of the urban railway line before the trains head to Long Binh deport (Thu Duc City). At this station, people can travel to the National Cultural and Historical Park, Hung King Temple, Ho Chi Minh City National University Village or the Oncology Hospital... This is also the bus station that will take passengers to many provinces and cities. |

The final stop of metro line 1 is Long Binh depot. This is considered the "brain" or "heart" of the entire railway line. Long Binh depot is the maintenance control center, operating 17 trains with advanced technology. |

To operate effectively, the Urban Railway Company No. 1 (HURC, the operator of metro No. 1) has established an Operation Enterprise and a Maintenance Enterprise. The Operation Enterprise is responsible for daily operations, focusing on train drivers, station staff, and support departments. Meanwhile, the Maintenance Enterprise will manage and maintain the entire technical system, from locomotives to infrastructure. |

Accordingly, trains will operate from 5:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day, with train intervals ranging from 5 minutes 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
