How much do bus ticket prices increase during Tet in Bac Lieu?

According to the Bac Lieu Bus Station Management Board, it is predicted that the volume of vehicles and passengers during the Lunar New Year 2025 will increase by 3-5% compared to the same period in 2024.

This year, the Lunar New Year holiday is earlier than every year, falling on January 25, 2025 (ie the 26th day of the Lunar New Year), so the number of visitors is not expected to increase dramatically, but will last from January 25, 2025 - January 28, 2025 (ie the 29th day of the Lunar New Year).

Bac Lieu bus station is ready to serve the travel needs of passengers during the Lunar New Year 2025.

Therefore, from January 19, 2025 (ie December 20, year of the Dragon) to February 7, 2025 (ie January 10, year of the Snake), transport units with ticket offices at the station will organize ticket sales from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day.

At the same time, there is a plan to sell tickets in advance to passengers through the call center and website of each unit after registering to declare ticket prices during Tet. In addition, the management board at the station organizes ticket sales to passengers under the authorization of transport units (if any).

According to the annual statistics of the Bac Lieu Bus Station Management Board, the routes with increased prices are mainly Bac Lieu - Ho Chi Minh City, the ticket price increase does not exceed 40% compared to normal days, the increase time is mainly before Tet and two days after Tet. Currently, no unit has registered to declare the increase in ticket prices for the Lunar New Year 2025.

The Bac Lieu Bus Station Management Board monitors the flow of passengers and vehicles on each trip to have a reasonable adjustment plan, focusing mainly on the route from Bac Lieu to Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, and Ca Mau , to avoid congestion and backlog of passengers at the station.

According to the reporter of Giao thong Newspaper, on the morning of January 1 (New Year's Day holiday) inside Bac Lieu Bus Station, the number of passengers did not increase much compared to normal days, the activities at the station were smooth, not complicated, the vehicles were parked in the right positions and ready to depart when there was a request or order to transport passengers.

The Station Management Board has renovated the station and cleaned the environment at the station, repaired the bus station surface to ensure it is spacious and clean; created all conditions for vehicles to pick up and drop off passengers safely and conveniently.

At the same time, there is a full night lighting system, enhanced loudspeaker system, route announcements, bus schedules, ticket prices... so that passengers know how to choose their means of transport.

Sitting inside the bus waiting room at Bac Lieu Bus Station, Ms. Le Thi Thuy (residing in Vinh Loi district, Bac Lieu province) shared: "This morning, I went to the bus station to wait for the bus to Ho Chi Minh City for medical examination. Compared to half a month ago, I felt normal. There were not too many passengers coming to the station. Maybe it was a day off for New Year's Day so people working far away did not return to their hometowns."

According to Ms. Luu Ngoc Vi, Deputy Director of Bac Lieu Bus Station Management Board, to ensure people's travel needs, the board coordinates with transport businesses to arrange backup vehicles to relieve passengers at the station.

"At the same time, we also strengthen coordination with the Traffic Police and Traffic Inspectorate to handle the situation of illegal vehicles, illegal parking, and picking up passengers, disrupting traffic safety in front of the station, and ensuring security and order in the bus station.
