    According to Lao Dong, after nearly 3 weeks of pilot implementation, the traffic situation in this area has changed a lot. Traffic congestion has decreased significantly, the streets are airy, most of which only have motorbikes, private cars and 16-seat cars moving.

    At around 7:30 - 8:30 every day, many groups of tourists, mainly international visitors, start traveling to the airport or visiting locations in the city. furthermore, hotels have proactively arranged 16-seat cars to ensure that they do not violate regulations.

    At around 8:10 a.m. on March 18, on Bao Khanh Street towards the Great Church, there were still tourist vehicles with more than 16 seats operating. However, vehicles only drive through a street that is prohibited from parking.
    Ba Nguyen Thanh Xuan, mot cu dan tai khu vuc pho Nha Chung, chia se: “Tu ngay co quy dinh moi, tinh trang un tac giao thong giam dang ke. Truoc day, xe 30 - 40 cho di lai nhieu, tuy thuan tien cho khach du lich nhung duong pho tac nghen, o nhiem khoi bui lam anh huong den cuoc song sinh hoat cua nguoi dan“.
    Ms. Nguyen Thanh Xuan, a resident in Nha Chung street area, shared: Since the new regulations were issued, traffic congestion has decreased significantly. Previously, although the lot of cars with 30 - 40 seats was convenient for tourists, the streets were congested, and smoke and dust pollution affected people's lives.

    Faced with the new regulations of Hanoi city, tourists seem quite comfortable and satisfied.

    Limiting cars with more than 16 seats to operate on some streets not only makes people's travel and living more convenient but also contributes to improving the experience of tourists when visiting the capital Hanoi. Brian, a British tourist, shared: We could easily walk around Hoan Kiem Lake because there were not many big cars. If you visit further away, there will be a 16-seat car to pick you up at the hotel gate.
    Tuy nhien, vao gio cao diem, viec co nhieu xe o to 16 cho den don khach lam anh huong den su trang nghiem cua mot so cong trinh mang tinh bieu tuong cua thanh pho.
    However, during rush hour, the ban on 16-seat vehicles has forced travel agencies to arrange many 7- to 14-seat vehicles to pick up groups of tourists, and vehicles are parked in front of hotel doors.
    Khong the dung do lau, tai xe va nhan vien dieu phoi tour, nhan vien khach san phai lien tuc cap nhat thong tin, nhanh chong tim va huong dan du khach len xe de tranh un tac.

    Unable to stop for long, drivers and tour coordinators and hotel staff must continuously coordinate and guide tourists to get on the bus to avoid congestion.
    Currently, tourist parking lots with more than 16 seats are temporarily arranged on a number of other routes. However, this is not a specialized parking lot but only a temporary lot, each location can only accommodate 4-5 vehicles, limiting the reception of visitors.
    Voi su dieu chinh hop ly trong tuong lai, Ha Noi co the vua bao ton duoc net dac trung cua pho co vua dam bao giao thong thong thoang va tien loi hon cho tat ca moi nguoi.
    To date, the pilot ban on vehicles with more than 16 seats on some streets during peak hours has brought many significant benefits, helping to improve traffic congestion and walking space for people and tourists. Some travel businesses expressed their desire for the regulations to be adjusted further after the pilot period to create favorable conditions for tourism businesses to operate, contributing to preserving the characteristics of the old town, improving the environment, and making transportation more open for both people and tourists.
