HCM City (VNA) – The southern metropolis Ho Chi
Minh City is seeking to run 12-17-seater
minibuses to make it easier for local
residents to get access to this public transport services as the city has a lot
of narrow roads with high traffic flows.
In a proposal sent to the Prime Minister, the municipal
People’s Committee said minibuses
would provide better connections between residential areas and those where
traffic infrastructure has yet to be developed thanks to their small size.
The city
currently has over 2,300 buses, mostly 17-60-seater vehicles.
Social distancing measures will be implemented in areas of northern Hai Phong city which have recorded new COVID-19 patients, according to the city’s leaders at an urgent meeting held on February 22.
