The test run, starting on December 5, was conductedin two phases, with the first lasting from five days to six weeks inorder to evaluate the line's RAM efficiency.

If the efficiency recorded during the first fiveconsecutive days failed to reach 98%, the trial run will be extended until thegoal is achieved, to the maximum of six weeks.

The second phase of the trial run was conducted onDecember 13 and 14 right after the RAM efficiency evaluation was completed,with several scenarios simulated, such as blackouts and fires.

The 12-kilometre Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line, thesecond of its kind in the capital city, starts from Nhon in Nam Tu Liemdistrict and ends at the Hanoi Station in Dong Da district, and includes eightelevated stations and four underground.

Once fully operational, eight trains will beofficially in service, with one used to ease overloading at peak hours.

Each train is designed to carry between 944 and1,124 passengers. The trains are designed and manufactured by France's Alstomcompany.

The project's investment of about 30.1 trillion VND(1.29 billion USD) comes from official development assistance of the FrenchDevelopment Agency and loans from the French Government.

The elevated section is slated for commercialoperation by the end of this year, while the remaining part which isunderground will be put into use next year./.
