According to the announcement of Railway Transport Joint Stock Company, from March 8, 2026, this unit will increase passenger fares by 10% compared to the current price applied before the adjustment time. At the same time, freight rates are also adjusted to increase by 15%.
Railway Transport Joint Stock Company said that this decision was made in the context of the global fuel market fluctuating strongly, directly affecting the operating costs of transport businesses.
According to the announcement of Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex), the price of diesel oil at 3:00 PM on March 7, 2026 is at 30,230 VND/liter, an increase of 31.26% compared to the price announced at 3:00 PM on March 5, 2026 and an increase of 56.88% compared to 3:00 PM on February 26, 2026.
The rapid increase in a short time has created great pressure on fuel costs for train operations and railway logistics operations.
Railway Transport Joint Stock Company said that the price adjustment has been carefully considered to share part of the pressure of increased fuel costs, while still ensuring stable transport operations.
Despite price adjustments, the railway industry affirms that it still maintains service criteria such as safety, punctuality, convenience, and continues to improve service quality for passengers and cargo transportation customers.
Detailed information about ticket prices, freight rates and train schedules will be updated on the official information channels of the railway industry for passengers and partners to easily follow.
