About 500-600 buses arrive and depart at the City Center bus station every day during National Day, September 2.

It was recorded that on August 30 and 31, the number of passengers flocking to the city center bus station and Da Nang train station increased sharply compared to normal days.

The number of passengers on this occasion increased 2.5 times compared to normal days and 20-30% compared to the same period in previous years.
