Vinh Long: Striving to have 100% of bus stations and parking lots collecting non-stop fees by the end of 2025

Binh Minh bus station is located on National Highway 1A, in Binh Minh ward, Vinh Long province.

On October 8, Mr. Duong Van Phuc, Director of the Department of Construction of Vinh Long province, said that, implementing the direction of the Provincial People's Committee and the Ministry of Construction , the department has requested the management and operation units of bus stations, parking lots, along with commercial areas, apartment buildings, communes and wards with parking lots in urban areas to urgently deploy the non-stop toll collection model.

According to the plan, by December 2025, all bus stations and parking lots in the province will complete the installation of non-stop toll collection systems, ensuring the progress assigned by the Central Working Group on Project 06.

The Department of Construction has also requested the People's Committees of communes and wards to coordinate with the owners of parking lots, and coordinate with the relevant agencies to inspect, review, and promptly correct slow-implementing areas. However, the implementation of the model still faces difficulties due to the small scale of some bus stations, high installation costs, while there is only one technical consulting unit, causing limitations in progress. In addition, many parking lots managed by the People's Committees of communes have small areas and unsynchronized infrastructure.

The Department of Construction is requesting reporting units to promptly propose solutions to ensure that by December 2025, 100% of bus stations and parking lots will complete the implementation of the model. Currently, Vinh Long Provincial Bus Station is under construction, including the investment in a non-stop toll collection system; the remaining units are surveying and selecting installation contractors.

Currently, the province has 24 bus stations with about 3,200 passenger vehicles and more than 4,600 freight vehicles in operation. The application of non-stop toll collection is considered a step forward in building smart cities, improving traffic management and increasing transparency in transport activities. This system helps reduce congestion at bus stations and parking lots, especially during rush hours, while saving time for people and businesses.

At the same time, the synchronous implementation of non-stop toll collection also helps to make revenue sources transparent, reduce losses and increase the efficiency of public asset management, in line with the province's orientation of digital infrastructure development and digital transformation.
