Hanoi awaits new metro route with bated breath 14:00 | 14/04/2021
Hanoians are pinning high hopes on the new schedule of the long-awaited Cat Linh-Hadong metro route as procedures are in the final process. However, valuable lessons from past delays should be seriously taken into account to avoid reoccurrences.
The controversial Cat Linh-Hadong urban metro project has set its current deadline for commercial operation on April 30, with most stakeholder having mixed feelings of hope and doubt.
Nguyen Nam, a 40-year-old living in Nguyen Trai street where the metro line is running through, told VIR, âUnlike with previous announcements, these days I can see the trains on the Cat Linh-Hadong line run almost every day. I hope this time the train will be operated on schedule. I have been waiting for years.â
