On the morning of April 22, the Hanoi City Public Transport Management Center held a launching ceremony for the shared application “BusMap Ha Noi” to help people use buses quickly, conveniently and safely.
At the ceremony, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Public Transport Management Center Thai Ho Phuong said: “As the unit managing and operating the public passenger transport system in the city, in recent years, the Center has been implementing many scientific research tasks and applying technology in the field of public passenger transport. With the goal of making public transport a convenient means of transport for people, contributing to reducing the use of personal transport, reducing traffic congestion and environmental pollution”.
According to Mr. Thai Ho Phuong, to help users use the service conveniently, quickly and safely, the Hanoi Public Transport Management Center has coordinated with PHENIKAA MAAS Technology Joint Stock Company to launch the application "BusMap Ha Noi" with convenient, smart, easy-to-use and passenger-friendly features.
Speaking at the launching ceremony of the “BusMap Ha Noi” application, Director of the Hanoi Department of Transport Nguyen Phi Thuong said: “After the Covid-19 pandemic was basically controlled, the number of passengers using buses was very positive, reaching 70% compared to before the pandemic. However, the set target has not yet been achieved.”
According to Mr. Nguyen Phi Thuong, public passenger transport in Hanoi is developing day by day. The city always pays attention, perseveres and even “buys” the habit of passengers traveling by public transport. Therefore, improving the quality and output of buses is a “vital” task of the Hanoi Public Transport Management Center.
According to the head of the Hanoi Department of Transport, people can directly report on bus quality through the application “BusMap Ha Noi”. This will be the basis for the Department of Transport to evaluate and score each bus transport enterprise.
