How much do bus ticket prices increase during Tet in Bac Lieu?

According to the Bac Lieu Bus and Train Station Management Board, it is predicted that the volume of vehicles and passengers during the Lunar New Year 2025 will increase by 3-5% compared to the same period in 2024.

This year, the Lunar New Year holiday falls earlier than every year, on January 25, 2025 (ie the 26th day of the Lunar New Year), so the number of visitors is not expected to increase dramatically, but will last from January 25, 2025 to January 28, 2025 (ie the 29th day of the Lunar New Year).

Bac Lieu Bus Station is ready to serve the travel needs of passengers during the Lunar New Year 2025.

Therefore, from January 19, 2025 (ie December 20, Giap Thin year) to February 7, 2025 (ie January 10, At Ty year), transport units with ticket offices at the station will organize ticket sales from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day.

At the same time, there is a plan to sell tickets in advance to passengers via the call center and website of each unit after registering to declare ticket prices during Tet. In addition, the management board at the station organizes ticket sales to passengers under the authorization of transport units (if any).

According to the annual statistics of the Bac Lieu Bus Station Management Board, the routes with increased prices are mainly Bac Lieu - Ho Chi Minh City, the ticket price increase does not exceed 40% compared to normal days, the increase time is mainly before Tet and two days after Tet. Currently, no unit has registered to declare the increase in ticket prices for the Lunar New Year 2025.

The Bac Lieu Bus and Train Station Management Board monitors the passenger and vehicle traffic on each trip to have a reasonable adjustment plan, focusing mainly on the route from Bac Lieu to Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, and Ca Mau, to avoid congestion and backlog of passengers at the station.

According to the reporter of Giao thong Newspaper, on the morning of January 1 (New Year's holiday) inside Bac Lieu Bus Station, the number of passengers did not increase much compared to normal days, the activities at the station were smooth, not complicated, the vehicles were parked in the right positions and ready to depart when there was a request or order to transport passengers.

The station management board has renovated the station and cleaned the environment at the station, repaired the bus station surface to ensure it is spacious and clean; created all conditions for vehicles to pick up and drop off passengers safely and conveniently.

At the same time, there is a full night lighting system, enhanced loudspeaker system, route announcements, bus schedules, fares... so that passengers know how to choose their means of transportation.

Vehicles inside Bac Lieu Bus Station are arranged in parking positions according to regulations. At the time of recording, there was no chaos at the station.

Sitting inside the bus waiting room at Bac Lieu Bus Station, Ms. Le Thi Thuy (living in Vinh Loi district, Bac Lieu province) shared: "This morning, I went to the bus station to wait for a bus to Ho Chi Minh City for a medical examination. Compared to half a month ago, I went, it was normal. There were not too many passengers coming to the station. Maybe it was a day off for New Year's Eve so people working far away did not return to their hometowns."

According to Ms. Luu Ngoc Vi, Deputy Director of Bac Lieu Bus Station Management Board, to ensure people's travel needs, the board coordinates with transport businesses to arrange backup vehicles to relieve passengers at the station.

"At the same time, we also strengthen coordination with the Traffic Police and Traffic Inspectorate to handle the situation of illegal vehicles, illegal parking, and pick-up and drop-off, disrupting traffic safety and order in front of the station, and ensuring security and order in the station.

In addition, regularly patrol and control the area around the wharf to detect and promptly handle units selling tickets at prices higher than the registered declaration...", Ms. Vi added.

According to Ms. Vi, the bus station management board operates in shifts. If necessary, personnel from Ho Phong and Ganh Hao bus stations will be mobilized to support Bac Lieu bus station during the Lunar New Year 2025.
