On December 28, the first weekend since metro line No. 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien) was put into operation, thousands of people continued to visit the stations to experience it. Ben Thanh Station (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) is still the station with the most visitors, stretching from the gate to the basement.
From early morning, thousands of people rushed to Ben Thanh station. According to the investigation of Giao thong Newspaper reporters, not only people in districts of Ho Chi Minh City, but also many other provinces such as Long An , Vinh Long, Tay Ninh... also took advantage of the weekend to go to the metro. This shows the attraction of the first metro line in Ho Chi Minh City.
Despite the long wait, most people were excited and took the opportunity to take souvenir photos while waiting. Employees of the Urban Railway Company No. 1 (the metro operator) continuously guided and divided the flow of people to ensure the number of people boarding the train.
Mr. Hoang Long (84 years old, living in Thu Duc City) happily said that he took many metro trips from the trial run until the official operation.

In addition to families taking their children to experience the metro, many students were also organized to go to Ben Thanh station on the weekend. Although the wait was long, the children were still very patient and eager.
Because of the overcrowding, it is difficult for people to fully experience the metro train. Most passengers (both the elderly and children) have to stand throughout the journey, without the opportunity to enjoy the scenery outside. The overcrowding also makes the air inside the train stifling.
However, passengers lucky enough to get a seat near the window still have the opportunity to enjoy the city view through the large glass panels. "The train is smooth and fast, I really like it. I can see the tallest building in Ho Chi Minh City and Suoi Tien when the train passes by," said Nhat Nam, a fourth grader.
During the 6 days of operation (from December 22 to December 27), Metro Line 1 welcomed 531,705 passengers. Each day, the metro line has 200 trains running, operating from 5:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. In the photo, many children are taken by their relatives to experience the metro.
On December 27, Metro Line 1 trains were temporarily suspended due to heavy rains, lightning, and thunderstorms. After checking and finding no abnormalities, the relevant units decided to allow the trains to resume operation.
