Dr. Vu Anh Tuan, director of Viet Duc Transport Research Centre, said the city was facing hurdles finding private investors for the metro lines.

Opening of first metro line in HCM City faces delay The opening of the first metro line in Ho Chi Minh City, which runs between Ben Thanh Market in District 1 and Suoi Tien Theme Park in District 9, will be delayed until 2022, city authorities have said.
