Previously, the city aimed to complete six metro lines with a combined length of 187km by 2030. These included Metro Line 2 (Ben Thanh-Tham Luong section), Metro Line 2 (Ben Thanh-Thu Thiem section), Metro Line 6 (Tan Son Nhat-Phu Huu section), the Thu Thiem-Long Thanh metro line, the New Binh Duong City-Suoi Tien line, and the Ben Thanh-Can Gio route.
However, Resolution 9 recently issued by the Politburo set a target for Ho Chi Minh City to complete 200km of urban railway by 2030.
To meet this goal, the city plans to add the Metro Line 2 section connecting Thu Dau Mot (former Binh Duong Province) and Ho Chi Minh City to its list of priority projects for implementation between 2026 and 2030.
Under the revised plan, the Thu Dau Mot-Ho Chi Minh City metro line will be extended to 35km, approximately 13km longer than the previous proposal. The route will begin at C0 Station in Binh Duong Ward and end at Tao Dan Station in Ben Thanh Ward, where it will connect with Metro Line 2 between Ben Thanh and Tham Luong.
The project will include around 20km of elevated track with 12 stations and approximately 15km of underground track with another 12 stations.
