A sleeper bus operates in HCM City downtown area
According to the department, the 6 am to 10 pm ban running from January 10 saw traffic improve on local ring roads and inner city streets. However, some parking lots and stations have illegally operated during this time in the city centre.
Therefore, the department has just sent a proposal to the city's administration and some relevant agencies to ask for a complete ban on sleeper buses in the central areas to eliminate unlicensed buses and stations and relieve traffic congestion.
Sleeper buses will be banned in the area surrounded by National Highway 1, Nguyen Van Linh, Vo Chi Cong, Nguyen Thi Dinh, Dong Van Cong, Mai Chi Tho streets, and the Hanoi Highway.
The city's administration and some relevant agencies are expected to reply to the department's proposal before May 30.
