The first activity in the campaign is to change the color of priority seats on trains on metro line 1. The seats are redesigned with prominent, easily recognizable colors, helping passengers easily remember and distinguish them.
Through this, the campaign conveys a message of caring and sharing - encouraging the behavior of giving up seats to the elderly, the disabled, pregnant women and children - as a practical expression of urban behavioral culture.

Close kiosks, return premises throughout Binh Tay and An Dong markets
According to Znews, on the morning of June 10, a series of kiosks in the clothing and footwear area of Binh Tay market were in a dark, gloomy state with their doors closed. A few businesses were still operating, but only had sellers and goods, and some places only had one door open. It was not difficult to see signs for rent or transfer on the kiosk doors. Some traders said this situation had been going on for a long time, due to sluggish business.
Besides the reason for the lack of customers, this time is also the peak time to crack down on counterfeit goods, smuggled goods and goods of unknown origin. Recently, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also directed the creation of a specific list of "black spots" for timely inspection and strict handling.
The dark atmosphere, devoid of vendors, is also pervading An Dong Market (District 5), where a series of kiosks have signs for rent, transfer, or even dust due to being vacant for a long time. This is a large market specializing in wholesale clothing, accessories, and food.
Mr. AG, the owner of a clothing kiosk at An Dong market, said that the sluggish situation has been a familiar story for many years. "More and more vendors are closing their stalls and abandoning the market because they cannot sell to anyone. Without long-term wholesale relationships, I and many other vendors here would not be able to continue selling. Selling on e-commerce platforms is also not feasible for us, because honestly, I am old, not familiar with technology and am used to the old way of doing business at the market," he confided.
