| A fake website reportedly offers train tickets for trips on the occasion of the Tết (Lunar New Year) celebration. |
Lê Quốc Trung, vice director of the company, said the fake websites usually offered tickets that were four or five times more expensive than the authentic fares.
People who buy e-tickets via fake websites would be barred from boarding trains, he said.
Trung highly recommended people use authentic websites to purchase train tickets, including vr.com.vn, saigonrailway.com.vn, vantaiduongsathanoi.vn or dsvn.vn.
The Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company (HARACO), another subsidiary of Vietnam Railway Corporation, has decided to add 21 train trips on the Hanoi-Vinh, Hanoi-Hai Phong and Hanoi-Danang routes.
It will operate more trains on the Hanoi-HCM City, Hanoi-Vinh, Hanoi-Lao Cai and Hanoi-Yen Bai, as well as Hanoi-Hai Phong and Yen Vien-Hạ Long routes, to accommodate more people just before and after Tết.
VNR said it would run these additional routes from January 17 to February 12, 2017. This year, state employees and workers will get Tết holidays from January 26 to February 1. They will get two more days off – January 31 and February 1 – as compensation for the previous weekends.
