Approximately 500-600 buses arrive and depart from the city's central bus station each day during the National Day holiday on September 2nd.

Observations over the two days of August 30th and 31st show a significant increase in the number of passengers flocking to the city's central bus station and Da Nang train station compared to normal days.

According to Mr. Doan Kim Tuan, Team Leader of the Passenger Transport Team, Da Nang Railway Transport Branch, on August 30th, the total number of passengers arriving and departing was approximately 6,000, rising to over 7,000 on August 31st. This represents a 2.5-fold increase compared to normal days and a 20-30% increase compared to the same period in previous years.

Part of the reason is that this year the city has launched heritage train tours that attract locals and tourists to experience the scenic spots of Da Nang and neighboring provinces and cities, thereby boosting train and bus ticket sales during the National Day holiday on September 2nd.

To provide the best service experience for residents and tourists, the unit increased its workforce by 100% during the three-day holiday; and coordinated with relevant authorities to ensure that no security, public order, or fire safety issues occurred.

At the same time, the unit has prepared contingency plans for cases of overload before, during, and after the ceremony.
