The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport has just submitted a document to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee regarding the issuance of ticket prices for Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien).
According to the report, for customers using cash to take Metro Line 1, the lowest one-way ticket price is 7,000 VND, the highest is 20,000 VND. For customers buying one-way tickets without using cash, the price for Metro Line 1 ranges from 6,000 - 19,000 VND.
For customers who buy tickets by time, a one-day ticket is 40,000 VND (unlimited trips per day); a 3-day ticket is 90,000 VND, with no limit on trips within 3 days. Regular customers who buy a monthly ticket are 300,000 VND. The monthly ticket price for students is 150,000 VND. The ticket price includes personal insurance for passengers.
According to the Department of Transport, the above fare plan is built based on the cost method, combined with the comparison method with the fare of the Cat Linh - Ha Dong Metro line and research by consulting units on people's ability to pay.
According to the Department of Transport, Metro Line 1 will be subsidized by the budget to encourage people and increase competitiveness compared to other types of vehicles.
Metro Line 1 is the first urban railway project in Ho Chi Minh City, with a total investment of more than 43,700 billion VND, nearly 20 km long, from Long Binh depot, Thu Duc to Ben Thanh, District 1. In addition to 11 elevated stations, the line also has three underground stations in the city center: Ben Thanh, City Theater and Ba Son.
Metro Line 1 project started construction in August 2012. After more than 12 years of construction, the entire project has completed 98% of the volume but there are still some problems that need to be resolved for commercial operation, expected at the end of 2024.
