What you can explore

From one line to a network

One line links places along its corridor. When lines meet, a residential district can reach universities, services and employment on other corridors. Choose a journey to follow the highlighted path and its transfers.

One journey, several modes

The work journey begins with a feeder bus in the western neighbourhood, takes line A and changes to C for the production district. The highlight includes access to metro; regional rail continues beyond the eastern hub.

A city with many centres

Journeys need not all end in the old core. Universities, service centres, production districts and housing can form distinct centres with their own activities, linked by public transport.

Who builds and sustains the network?

Building lines and sustaining service require different funding commitments. Public investment, borrowing and land resources can contribute, each carrying obligations, time horizons and risks.

The future of metro in Vietnam

HCMC and Hanoi are moving from their first corridors towards network ambitions. Economic opportunity lies in connecting homes, jobs, new centres and services while improving station access.
