Roughly 3,500 extra-train seats will be added on the Sai Gon - Hanoi Route during peak times for the upcoming Tet, according to Nguyen Dat Tuong, general director of Vietnam Railway.

The railway corporation will also offer a 40 percent discount to all passengers who buy extra-seats for trips between January 1 and 8.

There are approximately 10,000 train tickets still available to passengers wishing to travel during the holidays, Tuong said.-VNA
