Saigon Railway Transport JS Company on Thursday said that the firm has offered a 20% discount on ticket prices for trains SE3/SE4, SE7/SE8, SE21/SE22 between October 30 and November 1 for the section from Quang Ngai Station to Yen Trung Station in Ha Tinh Province.
The railway sector has joined efforts to further support the central region by shipping relief goods free of charge.
The company has also continued providing free transport of relief goods to areas affected by storms and floods in the central region until November 15.
Vietnam Railways suffered losses of roughly VND27 billion (USD1.16 million) between October 7 and October 23, when heavy rain lashed the country’s central region, leading to flash floods and landslides.
The North-South railway system was temporarily closed twice during that time.
Amid the challenges, the company offered the free transport of relief goods to central localities affected by floods.
