Hanoi (VNA) – The two metro lines in Hanoi will operate continuously from 00:00 on September 1 to 3:10am on September 2 to meet travel demand expected to surge as people flock to Hanoi streets to witness the official National Day parade on September 2 morning.

After that, trains of the Cat Linh – Ha Dong and Nhon – Hanoi Station routes will continue running from 4:30am on September 2, Director of the Hanoi Transport Management and Operation Centre Thai Ho Phuong said on August 30.

They will operate with a six-minute interval during 4:30–7:30 am and 11 am –2:30 pm, and a 10-minute interval during other times. Services will pause between 3:10 am and 4:30 am for technical checks.

Mobile ticket counters will be added on the first and second floors of metro stations to serve passengers and prevent congestion, he noted.

Meanwhile, bus services to the two metro lines’ starting and ending terminals will be extended until midnight of September 1 and begin earlier than usual on September 2 morning to serve passengers boarding the railways to enjoy the parade.

Monitoring personnel will also be arranged at the metro lines’ terminals and the bus transit stations of Long Bien and Hao Nam to provide timely bus services after the National Day ceremony concludes.

To ensure better services, the centre has also proposed the municipal Construction Department and the Hanoi Metro Co. Ltd to deploy more staff to metro and bus stations to take necessary actions when the passenger volume soars./.
