Ms. Quach Thu Ngan, a passenger from Rach Gia ( Kien Giang ) returning to Ho Chi Minh City, said that this year the number of people returning to the city is much higher than in previous years. Even though she booked her ticket a month in advance, she still had difficulty choosing a seat on the bus. "I thought that if I booked early, I would be able to choose a seat comfortably, but this year there were too many passengers so I still had to endure the situation of not having the desired seat," Ms. Ngan shared.

Not only bus stations, Saigon Railway Station is also in a similar situation when trains continuously bring people back to Ho Chi Minh City after a long holiday.

Passengers got off the train with all kinds of luggage, from large suitcases to bags of souvenirs from home. Many families immediately found taxis or motorbike taxis to go home as soon as they got off the train, while some passengers took the opportunity to call their relatives to inform them of the news.

Mr. Tran Minh Hai, a passenger from Hanoi , said that this year he decided to take the train instead of the plane because the airfare after Tet was too high. "The train is a bit crowded, but the ticket price is stable and does not increase suddenly like the airfare," said Mr. Hai.

It is forecasted that in the coming days, the number of passengers will continue to increase as people from the provinces continue to return to Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for work and study after the Tet holiday. Bus and train stations have made plans to coordinate vehicles and increase human resources to ensure people's travel is convenient and safe.
