| Hanoi may have an automatic public bus ticket system by 2013 |
The municipal government has requested the city’s Department of Planning and Investment to consider a recent municipal Department of Transport’s recent proposal.
Under the proposal, the system will be built under two phases. The first phase, estimated to cost VND69 billion (USD3.2 million), will cover 17 bus routes.
Under the second phase costing nearly VND202 billion (USD9.61 million), the system will be expanded to the entire public bus network.
If approved, construction on the system will range from next February to December.
The system is expected to become operational in 2013.
