More efficient

- Since being put into operation, urban railway lines in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have served millions of passengers. Increasing public transport will reduce personal vehicles. But the regular metro also shows the lack of infrastructure connectivity.

- What exactly?

- Urban railways are only really good when they can connect with other forms of public transport. Normally, most passengers need to transfer after getting off at the station. If it takes too much time to catch another train through many stops, people will be discouraged. The advantages of public transport are cheap, fast, and safe. When it takes a lot of time, money, and effort, people will prefer private vehicles.

- That comment is correct. Metro must be seamless with buses, river buses, inter-provincial coaches... Current bus routes are designed mainly for people traveling one way, but the reality is different. Another important factor is habit. Due to many years of getting on the bus, whether it is a long or short trip, many people have lost the habit of walking. If the distance is less than 1km and you use your feet, current and future public transport routes will meet the demand much better.

- Persuasion always comes from reality. The more convenient it is, the harder it is for people to hide in old habits. If existing obstacles are removed, public transportation will be more effective.
