On 1.2.2024, the Hanoi Department of Transport (MOT) has adjusted the traffic organization along the road along To Lich River (the bridge section to Yen Hoa Bridge) from the pedestrian road to a priority road for vehicles pedal and pedestrians.
Bicycle roads are organized two -way traffic, 2.3km long, 3m wide; The walking path is 1m wide, arranged on Lang street.
At that time, Tri Nam Group arranged a series of public bicycle stations along the route to serve the people.
The route is expected to motivate people in the capital to use green vehicles, protect the environment ...
However, since going into the exploitation, many issues have been reflected by the people, such as the stench from the To Lich river and waste; The road is too short ... making the needs of people not high.
Recognizing the reality of PV after more than 1 year the upper route goes into exploitation, rarely seeing people cycling, sometimes only a few people walking on the gym.
Sharing with PV, Ms. Nguyen Lan Phuong (Dong Da, Hanoi) said that every day she went through Lang road to come to work, however, very rarely saw the bike lane for user.
"In fact, I see that the percentage of bicycle users to work in Hanoi is very small, most people only use it to exercise in the morning. Maybe so that the other lane rarely uses. The idea that due to the stinking To Lich River, people are afraid to go, I think it is not really like that, "Lan Phuong shared.
The same thought, Mr. Ngoc Tien - the house right on Nguyen Ngoc Vu street (Cau Giay district) said that if now the percentage of people using bicycles to go to work, go to other jobs, then naturally the route Kia will be crowded.
"Every street has a separate lane for bicycles, I think I will promote people to switch vehicles," Mr. Tien shared.
The Hanoi Department of Transport has planned to arrange an additional route for bicycles around Hoa Binh Park and Hoang Minh Thao Street (Bac Tu Liem District), but so far has not been implemented.
Earlier, talking to PV Lao Dong newspaper, Mr. Do Ba Quan - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tri Nam Transport Company said that when Hanoi arranged more routes for the second bicycle, the unit This will also arrange public bicycle stations to serve people.
In 2024, after more than 1 year of piloting public bicycle service in Hanoi, Tri Nam Transport Service Joint Stock Company reported more than VND 2 billion.
Assessing the above issue, architect Tran Huy Anh - Standing Member of the Hanoi Architects Association said that the unit piloted public bicycle in Hanoi at this time was "very brave".
According to architect Tran Huy Anh, there is currently a lot of things for public bicycle services to develop, such as lack of infrastructure, the linkage of public vehicles is limited.
"In 2025, I think the city should have preferential policies to compensate for losses, support businesses to deploy public bicycle services, like bus support, Metro ... so they can exist And develop, benefit society, "architect Tran Huy Anh shared.
