From 2023 up to now, in Da Nang City, dozens of subsidized bus routes have been deployed to help people travel. However, after a year of implementation, very few people choose buses as their daily means of transportation.
In particular, in industrial parks , every day thousands of workers come to work, but most choose motorbikes as their main means of transportation.
According to some workers, the bus routes all stop outside the gate and fence of the industrial park, so to get to work, workers have to walk 20 minutes.
Mr. Nguyen Van Phu - Deputy Director of Daiwa Da Nang Co., Ltd. - informed that currently, there are many bus routes in the city but they mainly run outside routes, there are no routes running into the industrial park (passing by). businesses). This makes it impossible for workers to choose the bus to get to work.
"Around 4:30 p.m. every day is the time when workers leave their shifts, so the roads from the industrial park to main roads like road number 5 are very difficult to travel.
If bus routes are expanded to routes passing by businesses, it will help workers have more conditions to take the bus. This will also significantly reduce traffic congestion during overtime hours" - Mr. Nguyen Van Phu stated in fact.
At the conference "Removing difficulties and obstacles for businesses" organized by the Management Board of Hi-Tech Park and Industrial Parks of Da Nang City, Mr. Dang Nam Son - Deputy Director of the Department of Traffic and Transport of Da Nang City Nang - said that currently, there are 3 bus routes passing through the industrial park.
Route 8 passes through An Don industrial park (Ngo Quyen street), route 17 passes through Hoa Cam industrial park (Truong Son street), route 14 passes through Hoa Khanh industrial park (Au Co street, DT 601 road and Tel 602).
In particular, the organization of bus routes going deep into the industrial park The Department of Transport of Da Nang City has also assigned the Public Transport Signal Operations Center to survey and establish these routes.
"We are facing difficulties in businesses organizing shift work, so these bus routes must meet the needs of the majority while not affecting the operating time of bus routes on the general route.
Because when entering the road with businesses located in industrial zones, it takes a lot of time for the bus routes to operate" - Mr. Dang Nam Son said.
According to the Department of Transport of Da Nang City, this unit has also assigned the Public Transport Signal Operation Center to survey and propose to the management board of Da Nang High-Tech Park and industrial parks to coordinate. cooperate with Japanese businesses to jointly survey and operate bus routes in the near future, meeting the travel needs of workers.
