During the Lunar New Year, the demand for travel from big cities to their hometowns is always very high, especially at major bus stations. However, at the Southern bus station of Hue City this year, the number of passengers returning to their hometowns for Tet has decreased sharply compared to previous years.

On January 23 (ie 24th of Tet), Lao Dong Newspaper reporters were present at the Southern bus station of Hue City to record the atmosphere of passengers returning home to celebrate Tet. It was quite surprising to see the empty bus station, giving the feeling of a normal day.

The buses are deserted and sparsely populated, making the bus station deserted, completely different from the bustling atmosphere of previous Tet seasons.

Mr. Hoang Minh Thai and his friend went to the bus station to buy tickets to go back to his hometown in Quang Nam and were surprised when buying tickets became easy, without the scene of waiting and jostling like in previous years. Mr. Thai said that in reality, there were not as many passengers as he had imagined. "Just the other day, I was worried that if I went to the station to buy tickets right away at this time, there would be no tickets. However, when I arrived, the ticket counters were empty and airy, and the bus companies were still waiting," said Mr. Thai.

The lucky bus companies have a fair amount of passengers so none of the buses are overcrowded.

As a long-time driver, Mr. Dinh Van Binh - a driver for Truong Thinh Transport Company said that this year the number of passengers has decreased a lot, about half compared to last year. "In general, when Decree 168 took effect from January 1, 2025, the bus station also reminded drivers to drive at the right speed and not run red lights because the fines are high. The company also organized propaganda, so no driver drove too fast, encroached on the lane or ran red lights because these violations are severely punished," Mr. Binh shared.

The leader of Hue Bus Station Joint Stock Company said that to ensure traffic safety as well as the rights of passengers during Tet, the unit has coordinated with the police force to propagate and require bus operators to sign a commitment not to drive recklessly or overload passengers. In particular, the unit has widely informed bus operators about the high fines of Decree 168 to deter and remind drivers during the process of transporting passengers.
