Bus stations of Hanoi Bus Station Joint Stock Company are ready to serve passengers.

Mr. Hung said that the number of vehicles needed to increase to accommodate passengers during the Lunar New Year is expected to be 2,486 vehicles for the bus stations under the Company (Giap Bat, My Dinh, Gia Lam).

Hanoi Bus Station Joint Stock Company requests that bus stations closely coordinate with local police forces and district police to develop a plan to ensure security and order at the stations, inspect and prevent the transportation of explosives, prohibited goods, counterfeit goods, and eradicate social evils such as gambling and touts. At the same time, promptly prevent and handle disturbances and illegal acts at bus stations.

For Giap Bat Bus Station, due to the impact of fencing off Kim Dong Street to serve the construction of the Kim Dong - Giai Phong intersection tunnel project, the risk of traffic jams will increase abnormally, greatly affecting the operation of the station. Therefore, the bus station must proactively develop detailed operating scenarios during the holiday service period.

Bus stations must not allow overloaded vehicles or sell tickets at prices higher than registered prices; ensure that all passengers on the vehicle have tickets before the vehicle leaves the station.

At the same time, we resolutely do not allow vehicles that do not meet standards or quality, are overloaded, have goods mixed with passengers, or vehicle owners who drink alcohol or use stimulants... to leave the station to ensure the safety of people and property for passengers.

To ensure the good implementation of the Tet service plan to meet people's travel needs, ensure security, order and safety at bus stations, Hanoi Bus Station Joint Stock Company also requested the Hanoi Department of Transport to issue 300 badges for additional vehicles to clear passengers for the Lunar New Year 2025.
