Ho Chi Minh City sets a target to start construction of the Thu Dau Mot - Tao Dan Metro line by the end of 2026 and complete it by 2030.
When completed, Thu Dau Mot - Tao Dan Metro will create another urban railway transport line directly connecting the Binh Duong area with the center of Ho Chi Minh City.
The formation of this metro line is expected not only to shorten travel time between areas but also to create motivation for urban, commercial and service development along the corridor, especially in areas with stations and major traffic hubs.
