According to Lao Dong reporters on the afternoon of August 29, many bus companies at Da Nang Central Bus Station said that most of the customers here had booked tickets many days in advance.
In particular, passenger bus routes from Da Nang to Quang Tri, Ha Tinh, Nghe An, Kon Tum... are currently "sold out" on peak days such as August 30 - 31, 2025.
Talking to Lao Dong, a representative of Ngoc Trinh bus company ( route from Da Nang to Quang Tri) - informed that during peak days such as August 30 - 31, 2025, the bus company was full.
The airline has also had to increase 2 more trips on the above 2 peak days to serve customers. Currently, many people book tickets on August 29, bus companies have to be on duty by phone to update information and book seats for passengers in a timely manner.
Living and working in Da Nang City, Ms. Nguyen Hong Dieu (from Quang Tri) had to book a ticket 11 days in advance, depositing 100% of the ticket price to reserve a seat.
Worried that there would be no bus tickets out due to the crowded holiday, Ms. Dieu booked tickets in advance from August 19, returning home on August 30, 2025. On other holidays, Ms. Dieu also often books tickets in advance, choosing to go home by bus to save costs.
Having a husband treating a patient in Da Nang, Ms. Pham Thi Sy (from Kon Tum, Quang Ngai) said that the bus tickets from Da Nang to Kon Tum for the two people were sold out, so she had to stay in Da Nang until the evening of September 1, 2025 to have a return trip.
Ms. Sy even went "hunting", asking about the bus trip from Hue to Kon Tum, to return and return on many routes but still had no tickets.
"On August 28-29, the bus company sold out all tickets because customers had booked many days in advance. The ticket price from Da Nang to Ha Tinh is still stable at 300,000 VND/person.
On this holiday, bus companies have to increase trips during peak days to serve passengers" - said a representative of a bus company specializing in serving routes from Da Nang to Ha Tinh and Nghe An.
