Pho Yen City bus station with a total investment of nearly 20 billion VND, after many years of completion, has not been put into operation and is currently abandoned, causing a waste of tens of thousands of square meters of prime land.

Located adjacent to the old National Highway 3 and invested with a scale of 10,000m2 (total investment capital of nearly 20 billion VND), Pho Yen Bus Station was completed in 2021 but has not yet been announced for operation. This causes a waste of investment resources and makes transportation activities in the southern region of the province difficult.
Pho Yen Bus Station project, invested with nearly 20 billion VND, has not yet been put into operation.
According to Giao Thong Newspaper's reporter on December 25, many items of the Pho Yen Bus Station project have been completed, such as the operator's house, entrance gate, lighting system, fire prevention and fighting system...
However, due to many years of not being put into operation, the surrounding area is overgrown with grass, some equipment is rusty, even degraded and damaged.
Mr. Nguyen Van Bay (born in 1966, in Tan Huong ward, Pho Yen city, Thai Nguyen province) said: "We still have to take buses along the old National Highway 3, which is very inconvenient and unsafe. While Pho Yen bus station was built spaciously and well, it has not been put into operation yet, leaving it abandoned, causing waste."
What is the reason?
Pho Yen Bus Station Project is one of four bus station projects invested by Thai Nguyen Transport Joint Stock Company under the form of public-private partnership - BOO contract (build - own - operate contract) approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 2606 dated October 10, 2016 and Decision No. 1427 dated June 6, 2017.
On December 24, Mr. Pham Dang Thien, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Thai Nguyen Transport Joint Stock Company, said: According to the plan, the project must be completed in 2020. However, it was not until May 2019 that the investor was handed over the site by the local government for implementation.
After that, the transport industry continued to be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, causing many difficulties. Therefore, the project was not completed until 2021.
"Our project has been accepted but the wharf has not been announced. The authority to announce the wharf belongs to the Thai Nguyen Department of Transport. However, the department said the project's implementation time has expired because we are 4 months late in completing it. 2 years ago, Thai Nguyen province organized an inspection but there is still no conclusion," said Mr. Thien.
Faced with the difficulties encountered, the investor hopes that the authorities at all levels and related departments and agencies will soon pay attention to and resolve the existing problems of the project. This will help the enterprise overcome difficulties and soon put Pho Yen Bus Station into operation to serve the people.
Talking to Giao thong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Pham Quang Anh, Director of Thai Nguyen Department of Transport said that not only Pho Yen Bus Station but also many other bus stations, so the department is reviewing and will then advise the leaders. "The procedures will be completed soon to put the bus station into operation soon," said Mr. Quang Anh.
