Over 5.7 million passengers use Hanoi Metro electronic tickets, revenue increases by 48%
Hanoi Metro recorded more than 5.7 million passenger trips using new ticket gates, after more than 8 months of deploying electronic identification and biometrics. Currently, 100% of ticket gates have been upgraded; the rate of using applications for identification, electronic authentication and biometrics recognition reached 85%. Revenue on both routes increased by 48% and passenger volume increased by 15% compared to the same period.
According to Mr. Le Bang An - General Director of Hanoi Metro, the effective application of electronic identification and biometrics in public transport not only affirms the pioneering role of Hanoi City in developing smart urban transport, contributing to the implementation of the objectives of Project 06 and Resolution 57 of the Politburo, but also improves the management and operation capacity of Hanoi Metro.

240 billion VND hospital built 8 years ago still not put into operation
The incident occurred at the Specialized Psychiatric Hospital in Binh Duong ward, Ho Chi Minh City (Phu Chanh ward, Tan Uyen city, former Binh Duong province). Recorded on March 21, this facility was abandoned. Inside the hospital, trees grew lushly. Two large buildings of the hospital were locked, lying silently. Many equipment inside the hospital was left for a long time, covered in dust.
Because it has been built for about 8 years but has not been put into use, this facility is seriously degraded. Moss walls are growing mottled, and fire protection equipment is also gradually deteriorating. Unused air conditioning systems have also deteriorated... The deserted, desolate scene of the newly built hospital facility worth hundreds of billions of VND makes people feel sorry.
