In the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, many passengers from the central region have been using the metro to travel from Ben Thanh to the new Eastern Bus Station in Thu Duc to catch buses back to their hometowns.
On January 24th, the metro and its partners collaborated to introduce one-touch QR code scanning or payment via the Ho Chi Minh City metro app, eliminating the need to purchase tickets or pay with cash as in previous days.
With the metro system in place, connecting passengers to bus stations has become more convenient. On January 23rd, the new Eastern Bus Station deployed approximately 470 buses, serving 11,000 passengers.
This morning, the new Eastern Bus Station coordinated with various organizations to provide free bus services to help people return home for Tet (Lunar New Year). Specifically, there were about 10 sleeper buses carrying 440 passengers from Ho Chi Minh City to Nghe An bus station.

Many passengers proactively choose early morning flight times to avoid traffic jams on their way from home to the airport.
The crowd was large, but the queues were orderly.
The international terminal also welcomes a large number of passengers returning home from abroad and domestic tourists traveling during the Tet holiday.
At the new Eastern Bus Station, vehicles are ready to serve passengers returning to their hometowns in the central and northern provinces.
A new feature this year is the launch of Metro Line 1, connecting the city center with the new Eastern Bus Station.
Passengers traveling from Ben Thanh to the metro station can get off at Suoi Tien station and walk a short distance to the new Eastern Bus Station. This is also an interesting experience.
The newly built Eastern Bus Station is spacious and modern. Even today, the number of passengers returning home is not yet overwhelming.
