Metro lines play a major role in the economic and cultural development of cities around the world.
New York (USA) - The city that never sleeps with a dense metro system
As one of the first cities to develop a metro system (urban railway), New York now owns one of the longest metro lines in the world with an operating length of more than 1,100 km.
The New York subway system is considered one of the largest transportation networks in the world, with a total length of 471km and 36 train lines crisscrossing the city. This system operates 24 hours a day, carrying nearly 6 million passengers a day, more than 1.3 billion passengers a year.
Not only is the metro a popular means of public transport, it has also become an economic circulation circuit, connecting regions together, awakening wealth and prosperity.
New Yorkers are also proud that the subway is a symbol of the city, where the gap between rich and poor is no longer a boundary. These subway lines are also a typical image appearing in many classic movies.
Shanghai - A prosperous city thanks to the development of the best metro system
Since its first metro line in 1993, Shanghai Metro has become one of the fastest growing and largest systems in the world with a length of 743km.
Every day, Shanghai Metro handles more than 10 million trips, serving 52% of the city's residents. The extensive network of connections of the metro system has contributed to making Shanghai one of the largest economic and financial centers in the world.
In particular, the boost from the metro has helped transform many areas in Shanghai, most notably the Pudong area.
Before the Metro, Shanghai's Pudong area was just a poor, backward riverside wasteland. In 1999, the Metro Line 2, connecting the west and east of the city, came into operation. Pudong immediately became the city's busiest financial and economic center.
Metro has perfectly replaced bridges in connecting more than 6 million people in the central area of Shanghai, making it the city with the best public transport infrastructure connection in the world.
Bangkok - Awakening tourism potential thanks to metro system
A very close example to Vietnam is Thailand. Previously, mentioning Bangkok (Thailand) meant mentioning one of the cities with the highest traffic congestion rate in the world.
Before the metro was built, the speed of travel within Bangkok was usually less than 10 km/h. This has somewhat hindered the potential of the city, which was planned for tourism development and built to become the "city that never sleeps" of Southeast Asia.
The Bangkok MRT project was officially built in 1996 and put into operation in 1999. The Bangkok Metro is a harmonious combination of subway lines and sky trains.
In just over 20 years since the metro model came into operation, not only has it reduced the load on the transportation system, "metro culture" has also become popular culture in the heart of Thailand, promoting the development of tourism.
The special thing is that the Metro in Bangkok has connections to shopping centers, large supermarkets, and even the airport. Up to now, this system serves nearly 1 million passengers per day, contributing to making Bangkok the most visited city in the world with more than 22 million visitors per year.
The Metrolines - The international city lights up the west of Hanoi
The Metrolines is located in a prime location - the focal point connecting 3 metro lines 5, 6, 7.
For many specific reasons, the metro system in Hanoi lags behind many countries in the world. However, in terms of long-term strategic vision, developing the metro system is a key factor in solving the capital's traffic situation, making Hanoi an international-class urban area.
The biggest beneficiary of the development of metro lines in Hanoi is The Metrolines project - an international city located in the heart of Vinhomes Smart City metropolis.
The Metrolines is located right in the middle of three important metro lines 5, 6, and 7. These metro lines will be the driving force to awaken the potential of the new administrative area in the West, including The Metrolines.
Like all other products of the Vinhomes brand, The Metrolines, in addition to enjoying all the amenities of the Vinhomes Smart City metropolis, is also highly appreciated for its unique architecture and distinct vision from the subdivisions that have the appearance of "super cities" of the world.
The Miami brings the full vitality of the tropics, with a large outdoor swimming pool and the liberal 5-star American resort style.
The Sakura breathes Asian culture from the land of cherry blossoms, with an internal park architecture that promotes peace of mind.
Meanwhile, The Victoria perfectly recreates the bustling, vibrant life of Hong Kong.
True to its name, The Metrolines promises to become an international-class project, connecting the economic veins of the city, spreading prosperity in the western part of the capital.
TOD - Transit Oriented Development - is an urban model that takes the orientation of developing the public transport system as the basis for development planning. In Hanoi, the Vinhomes Smart City Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi metropolis with the focus on the "international project" The Metrolines can be considered the first TOD according to world standards.
