It is noted that the trains on the Cat Linh - Ha Dong urban railway line are always packed with people moving towards the city center to go to the area to watch the parade and parade taking place at 8:00 p.m. the same day.
Statistics from Hanoi Metro show that from 1pm to 4pm, the number of train passengers reached more than 22,000, from 3pm to 4pm alone there were more than 12,000 - 4-5 times more than normal days. Most of the passengers gathered to travel to Ba Dinh Square and central streets to watch the parade and parade in preparation for the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2.
The increase in the number of passengers was recorded on both Nhon - Cau Giay and Cat Linh - Ha Dong urban railway lines. Faced with this reality, Hanoi Metro has arranged staff and workers to guide passengers, support the elderly and children.
A representative of Hanoi Metro said that the unit has prepared a detailed plan to serve the parade and march. Specifically:
21, 24, 27 and 29.8: The train runs from 5:30 to 24h (trip is 2 hours longer than usual), extended by 6-10 minutes/trip; the extended time frame alone applies an extension of 10 minutes.
August 30: The train runs from 5am to 10pm; extended 6 minutes/trip between 5am and 8am, the remaining hours are 10 minutes/trip.
September 1: The train runs from 5:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., extended 10 minutes/trip evenly throughout the day.
September 2 (Quoc Khanh): The train runs continuously from 0:00 to 22:00, extended by 6 minutes/trip during peak hours (4:30-7:30 and 11:30-14:30), other times are extended by 10 minutes/trip.
Hanoi Metro recommends that passengers proactively arrange their journeys, follow information on official communication channels and follow staff's instructions for a safe and convenient trip.
