The VND47.3-trillion (USD2.05 billion) project is 19.7 kilometres long with 14 stations, linking the centre area of Ben Thanh District and Long Binh Depot in Thu Duc District. To date, around 87% of the project has been completed.
The project has been behind schedule due to the impact of Covid-19 and other reasons. So, it is expected to be put into official operation in 2022.
