During the peak of the 2025 Lunar New Year, from January 19 to February 7, 2025 (ie December 20 to January 10 of the lunar calendar), the new Eastern Bus Station (Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City) is expected to have more than 140,000 passengers. Compared to the same period last year, the number of passengers increased slightly.

However, the new Eastern Terminal Management Board said that the number of passengers passing through the terminal is still much lower than expected as this is the largest inter-provincial terminal in the country.
