From February 1, 2026, Hanoi Railway Company Limited (Hanoi Metro) officially applies 100% of the ticket gate system for identification, electronic authentication and biometric identification on urban railway line No. 3.1 Nhon - Hanoi Station.
According to Hanoi Metro, previously, from November 2025, the identification, electronic authentication and biometric identification ticketing system was deployed on the 2A Cat Linh - Ha Dong urban railway line. The fact that the two urban railway lines of the Capital operate on the same unified ticketing system is considered a step forward in the roadmap for synchronizing the Hanoi urban railway network.
Hanoi Metro said that the new ticket system contributes to improving management and operation efficiency, creating a platform for interconnection between urban railway lines in the future, and at the same time aiming to develop modern, smart public transport, putting passengers at the center.
