Metro line 3A will start from the Mien Tay (Western) Coach Station in Binh Tan district and end at the 20.1-hectare Tan Kien deport in Binh Chanh district.
The 10km metro line, including a 0.65-km underground section, will have seven stations.
Under the city’s transportation plan by 2020 with a vision beyond 2020, HCM City will have eight metro lines, including five elevated ones.
The building of metro line 1 from the Ben Thanh market to Suoi Tien Park and line 2 from Ben Thanh to Tham Luong are underway. The remaining are inviting for investment or on design process.
Metro line 1 is expected to be operational in 2020.-VNA
