The routes put into operation include route 21, route LK21, route 02, route LK02 (Quang Nam Newspaper has reported). The operation of the above 4 bus routes will create conditions for people to have more choices of high-quality transportation services, bringing a new look to public transportation.

People will be given free cards by Danabus and priority tickets to travel on the bus such as: Veteran revolutionary cadres; pre-uprising cadres; Vietnamese heroic mothers; wounded and sick soldiers with a disability rate of 81% or higher; heroes of the people's armed forces; heroes of labor; parents, wives and children of martyrs; people with severe disabilities.
