To serve people's travel needs, Cat Lai Ferry Management Board also increased the number of ferries and ships during the Lunar New Year.
Previously, the Traffic Police Department (PC08) directed its subordinate units to proactively deploy forces at gateways, national highways, bus stations, train stations, airports, etc. to regulate and divide traffic to help people move conveniently (Photo: Trinh Nguyen).
Similarly, at Tan Son Nhat airport, people from all over the provinces and cities returned to Ho Chi Minh City to study and work, causing the domestic terminal area to be crowded (Photo: Cao Bach).

According to Dan Tri reporter, at 4:00 p.m., people from the Western provinces traveling by motorbike through National Highway 1A towards the center of Ho Chi Minh City were getting more and more crowded (Photo: Khoa Nguyen).
Mr. Tran Duc Tuan (34 years old, from Ben Tre) and his wife and children rode a motorbike to Ho Chi Minh City at 1:00 p.m. but did not arrive in Binh Chanh until nearly 5:00 p.m.
"It usually takes me 3 hours to get there, but today many people are returning to Ho Chi Minh City so the roads are crowded, making it take longer for me to get back to my accommodation," said Mr. Tuan (Photo: Khoa Nguyen).
