Behind the Metro Trains

(HTV) - A special job behind the metro trains - the task of washing the trains - helps keep the trains clean and ready to serve passengers every day.

Every day, the Metro Line 1 trains roll along, serving tens of thousands of passengers. Behind this smooth operation are many unsung heroes, little known to the public, from the operating team at the OCC (Operations Control Center) – considered the "brain" of the entire line – to the technical maintenance work that ensures the safety of the trains. In particular, the train cleaning process plays an equally important role.

We carry out thorough ship cleaning operations to provide passengers with a fresh and comfortable environment.

To perform automated ship washing, the operating unit plans the ship's movement and sends the schedule to the OCC (Operations Control Center). Upon receiving the order, technicians inspect the system, ensuring the washing station is ready before bringing the ship in according to the control signal. Each washing cycle lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, the ship is returned to the dock or maintenance yard to resume passenger service.

Team leader of the metro train crew, Pham Thi Thu Thao, shared about the train cleaning process.

Ms. Pham Thi Thu Thao, Team Leader of the Train Drivers Team on Metro Line 1 Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien, shared that the train cleaning process always involves smooth coordination between the OCC dispatch center, the train drivers, and the maintenance company. When a train cleaning plan is received, all three parties confirm it before implementation begins.
