Hanoi’s first metro project, the Cat Linh-Ha Dong elevated railway, will officially run in April following many delays, according to Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Ngoc Dong.
Surveillance cameras to monitor traffic violations will be installed on a trial basis in Hanoi and HCM City by 2020 and nationwide by 2022, according to the Government.
The Hanoi People’s Committee on March 3 proposed subsidised ticket rates on its first metro project – the Cat Linh-Ha Dong elevated railway – when the metro opens for commercial operation next month.
If the Cat Linh-Ha Dong urban railway ever begins operations, 15-20 percent of drivers in Hanoi will switch to using the train, according to the municipal Department of Transport.
The People’s Committee of Hanoi has proposed the municipal People’s Council add the urban railway project No 3 to the list of projects funded by official development assistance (ODA) and preferential loans from foreign donors.
After 20 years since being awarded the title 'City for Peace', Hanoi has constantly made efforts to become a modern city imbued with a rich national identity, preserving the title awarded by UNESCO.
