In general, passengers will be distributed relatively evenly, without causing sudden pressure on the inter-provincial transport system.
It is forecasted that during peak days, the number of visitors will mainly concentrate in the afternoon of April 24, April 25, afternoon of April 29 and April 30. The number of visitors returning will increase on April 27 and April 4. After these times, travel demand will gradually decrease, returning to normal levels.

Of which, Giap Bat increases by 212 vehicles, Gia Lam 68 vehicles, My Dinh about 220 vehicles. Vehicle dispatch will be flexibly allocated according to each day, each route, based on the actual situation.
The unit will propose to the Hanoi Department of Construction to issue reinforcement vehicle badges, and at the same time coordinate operation to ensure vehicles depart quickly and in accordance with regulations. At the same time, the company also prepares contingency plans, signs contracts with vehicle rental units to meet in case of sudden increase in demand or vehicles on the route not being mobilized in time due to congestion.
In addition, Hanoi Bus Station Company coordinates with Hanoi Bus Operation Center to increase the frequency of bus routes connecting the bus station, serving passengers moving into the inner city and vice versa.
