Residents and tourists in Hanoi will soon have more options for getting around after the city’s authorities approved 200 public bicycle stations.

Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The said each project is subject to supervision, and that while the duration of construction could be shortened, it should not be at the cost of quality.

The Ministry of Transport, in collaboration with the Hanoi municipal People’s Committee and the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam, organised an inauguration ceremony for Cat Linh – Ha Dong metro line – the first of its kind in Vietnam on January 13.

Around 26,000 apartment units are expected to be launched in Hanoi in 2022, signaling a vibrant outlook for the segment, according to real estate service provider Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) Vietnam.

Compared with other means of public passenger transport, the Cat Linh-Ha Dong electric trains have many outstanding advantages.
