Currently, many trains and flights to major tourist destinations are almost sold out. On the other hand, road routes seem to be "breathing a sigh of relief" a little, but are expected to be crowded during the peak days of the upcoming holiday season. This shows people's desire to explore and relax after a long period of gloom due to the epidemic situation.
According to the forecast of Hanoi Bus Station Joint Stock Company, at Giap Bat Bus Station, the highest number of passengers will fall on the afternoon of April 26 and 27, with about 20,000 people/day, an increase of 350% compared to normal days. The bus station's characteristics are short-distance routes, passengers travel mainly during the day, the increased number of passengers is mainly concentrated on routes to Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa...
Many train routes are sold out for the April 30 holiday.
Forecasts show that the number of passengers from bus stations in Hanoi will mainly concentrate on short routes and peak at the initial peak times of the holiday. After that, the number of passengers is expected to gradually decrease in the following days, returning to the same level as normal days and not exceeding the acceptable capacity of the vehicles operating according to the schedule on the route.
This shows people's flexibility in planning their travel, and also gives them an opportunity to avoid traffic jams and ensure a smooth and safe trip during the upcoming holidays.
To meet the travel needs of people during this year's holiday, Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company provides about 60,000 tickets including both regular and additional trains. Saigon Railway Transport Joint Stock Company also offers an equivalent number of tickets to serve passengers.
Previously, to meet the travel needs during the holiday, in addition to the daily trains, the railway industry ran 34 more trains from Saigon station to Phan Thiet, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Quang Ngai and vice versa. Due to the high demand for tickets, many trains were added with extra seats. However, up to now, there are not many seats left, so Saigon Railway said it is coordinating and organizing additional trains to meet the travel needs of the people.
