On December 22, at Ben Thanh central station of Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien), the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City launched a content creation contest with the theme "Touching the future with Metro".
This is the first time Ho Chi Minh City has organized a content creation contest on cyberspace to spread the image of the metro line and connect the community.
The contest was launched right after Metro Line 1 officially came into operation, with the goal of not only creating a strong influence on this modern transport project but also attracting people and tourists, bringing the metro closer to the community.
According to Ms. Vu Minh Huyen - Deputy Head of the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Management Board, Metro Line 1 will become a symbol of modern public transport, contributing to creating a dynamic urban culture in Ho Chi Minh City, a favorite destination for tourists and residents.
Ms. Huyen hopes that the contest will produce creative media products, thereby conveying positive messages about behavioral culture and civility when using public transport.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoi - Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, also highly appreciated the role of content creators. Mr. Hoi said that with the ability to tell stories, create emotions and understand the community, these creations will help not only promote Metro Line 1, but also turn it into an inspirational story for the new era of the country.
