According to the plan, the second training session to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and National Day 2.9 (A80) will take place at 8:00 p.m. tonight, August 24.
From 12:30 noon today, many routes will be closed to serve the second training session of the A80 parade.
The Hanoi Traffic Management and Operation Center has sent a document to relevant units to coordinate in organizing public passenger transport activities by bus and urban railway (metro) during the traffic diversion period to serve the second parade and parade training session on August 24.
For public passenger transport businesses by bus, the Center requires the organization and operation of bus routes according to the traffic diversion plan to serve the second training session.
Accordingly, Hanoi will stop operating 18 bus routes ( routes 24, 23, 31, 38, Citytour 01, 34, 55, 41, 146, Citytour 03, 159, 144, E05, E07, E08, 43TC, E11, Citytour 02) from the time of traffic diversion.
Adjust the route for 51 bus routes during the traffic diversion period. In which, the route for 14 routes (routes 16, 01, 03A, 30, 33, 27, 51, 42, 161, E02, E03, 48) will be adjusted, and 39 routes (routes BRT01, 11, 12, 28, 17, 36, 54, 02, 04, 13, 22A, 26, 32, 40, 50, 52, 90, 98, 99. 100, 10, 107, 86, 08A, 08B, 09A, 09B, 19, 25, 35A, 49, 58, 60A, 65, 143, 142, E09, 43, 47A, 69 will be adjusted).
Add 3 more bus routes connecting to Cat Linh Station ( routes 02, 08B, E09) and 5 bus routes connecting to Cau Giay Station ( routes 143, 58, 13, 161, 09B) to increase passenger clearance.
Hanoi also adjusted services for 29 bus routes, including adjusting services from the time of traffic diversion for 5 routes (route 25, 35A, 43, 50, 26), adjusting services and extending operating time to 22:00-24h for 24 routes (route 72, 123, 27, 49, 124, E01, E04, E06, E09, E02, 08A, 08B, 09A, 09B, 21A, 02, 22A, 32, 107, BRT01, 20A, 58, 163, 28).
This adjustment aims to increase passenger clearance connecting to transit points, terminals, and stations along the route of the two metro lines.
Extending the operating time of 2 metro lines
To serve the people to watch the second parade and parade on August 24, Hanoi Railway Company Limited will extend the operating hours of the two metro lines to 24 hours (from 5:30 am to 7:00 pm).
This company is also recommended to prepare and issue full reserve paper tickets on the two urban railway lines to ensure the sudden increase in passengers.
At the same time, arrange additional mobile ticket sales points on the first and second floors of the stations to avoid congestion at the stations in case of sudden increases in passengers and sell pre-arranged tickets to passengers on August 27 and 29 when required.
In addition, the Center recommends that Hanoi Railway Company Limited arrange, arrange, and separate the entrance and exit flows in a "zic Zac" manner at the stations of the two metro lines (especially Cat Linh and Cau Giay stations) to ensure order when queuing to get tickets and avoid the situation of jostling.
Previously, Hanoi decided to offer free tickets to people traveling by train and 128 subsidized bus routes in the city from August 30 to September 2.
