Buses in Hanoi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buses are currently the only means of public transport in Hanoi, comprising more than 100 routes operated by the state-owned Transerco and several private companies serving the city centre and towns in greater Hanoi as well as connecting Hanoi with neighbouring provinces. Buses in Hanoi are easily recognisable with their red and yellow colours but buses on a number of routes are also painted green, blue and orange. The earliest bus leaves at 4:30 am while the latest bus leaves at 10:30 pm,[1] with service may be lengthened to 11:30 pm on weekends on a number of routes. Most Hanoi buses are equipped with an audio system to announce the next stop. LED panels are installed at a number of bus stops to display live arrivals information.

Routes[]

The network includes subsidized buses, non-subsidized buses, airport buses and provincial buses that connect Hanoi with neighbouring provinces.

Subsidized buses[]

There are currently over 100 government-subsidized bus routes in Hanoi, numbering from 01 to 126. Branch routes of a main route are usually marked by the number plus a letter. For example, 06B, running between Giap Bat Bus Station and Hong Van and shares most of its route with 06, is a branch route of 06. The system also includes BRT and DRT services.

Hanoi have been planning to put the CNG buses into service with three new routes in July 2018. However, service only started two months later in September 2018. Now, there are 7 routers using CNG bus in Hanoi, from CNG01 to CNG07.

Routes 18 (National Economics University), 23 (Nguyen Cong Tru), 56B (Vietnam Buddhist Academy) are loop routes.

Non-subsidized buses[]

Airport buses[]

In addition to four subsidized routes serving Noi Bai International Airport: 07 (from Cau Giay Bus Station), 17 (from Long Bien Bus Interchange), 90 (from Kim Ma Bus Station) and 109 (from My Dinh Bus Station) Transerco also operates two high-quality non-subsidized routes, numbered 68, from Me Linh Plaza (Ha Dong) and 86, from Hanoi Railway Station.[2]

Provincial routes[]

These routes connect Hanoi with nearby provinces like Hung Yen, Ha Nam, Bac Ninh and Bac Giang, as well as further districts from the city centre like Ba Vi. The fare is usually divided along different sections of the route, and usually mounts up to 20,000 - 30,000 VND for a whole trip between the termini.

Fares[]

The fare for a single ride costs between VND 7,000 and VND 9,000 depending on the length of the route. Regular commuters can purchase a monthly pass at VND 100,000 to use on a specific route or VND 200,000 to use on all routes. Students, industrial zone workers and the elderly only have to pay half the price for a monthly pass.[3]
