Saigon Railway Transport Joint Stock Company have officially launched two new websites to sell discounted tickets.
Passengers are advised to buy tickets at official websites operated by the Vietnam Railway Corporation
Passengers who want to look for cheaper tickets from promotions can now log in at giare.vetau.vn, and giare.vetau.com.vn which have operated since January 1. These two new sites provide more details on the train timetables, seats and ticket prices which makes it easier for passengers to choose the most convenient trip.
The Vietnam Railway Corporation has recently warned about several websites that are selling online tickets at high prices.
The prices on those websites are often 20-40% higher than the listed prices of the Vietnam Railway Corporation. Some websites target foreign visitors with English interfaces. Those websites use a similar domain to the Vietnam Railway Corporation name to trick customers.
More trains will be added to meet higher demand for the Lunar New Year. Online sales account for 44% out of the sector’s sold tickets. By December 21, nearly 230,000 tickets were sold for Tet.
