After the merger of provinces, the travel demand of people, cadres and civil servants from Phan Thiet (old Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan province) to the administrative center of Lam Dong province is increasingly high.
From the old Binh Thuan to the administrative center of Lam Dong province, there are many routes. Of which, there are 3 main routes: National Highway 28, National Highway 28B, National Highway 55 and all are connected to National Highway 20.
The characteristics of these routes are small, narrow, and winding. Many cages are dangerous and often have landslides, especially during the rainy season. Of which, National Highway 28B is the shortest route, but this route is currently a bad route and is under construction to upgrade and expand.
With the increasing travel demand of people on the Phan Thiet - Da Lat route, many passenger transport service vehicles running on this route have been born.
There are currently bus companies such as Tam Duc, Thanh Lich, An Phu, ... with many types of vehicles and many running times.
The distance from Phan Thiet to Da Lat ranges from 160 km to 200 km in about 4 - 5 hours depending on the route and weather conditions.
Mr. Huu Duc - limousine driver running this route said that due to the characteristics of National Highway 28B with many "potholes", when buying a car, you have to upgrade the shock absorber for the car. At the same time, when running into an elephant on the road, they have to "turn around" and steer to avoid it, helping passengers sit more smoothly.
"Due to increased travel demand, it is possible to consider a 2:00 a.m. trip from Phan Thiet to Da Lat at around 6:30 a.m. so that people can go to work or do procedures at the administrative center" - driver Duc shared more.
Many people also hope that National Highway 28B will be completed soon. At that time, the distance from Phan Thiet to Lam Dong administrative center can be shortened to 3 hours.
When the entire route is paved with smooth asphalt, road users will not have to endure the feeling of strong shock when passing through potholes on the road.
Not only passenger transport service vehicles, but also cargo transportation trucks have flourished. Mr. Le Huan - an event organizer in Phan Thiet ward said that in recent days, the company's trucks have been transporting furniture for units and families from Phan Thiet to the administrative center of Lam Dong province.
Previously, at the end of June, the Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee reported to the Party Committee of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee on the preparation of facilities for arranging working and accommodation headquarters; equipment, working means; support regime for cadres and civil servants to work in Lam Dong province.
Each cadre, civil servant, public employee, and worker who is due to the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units will be supported with a one-time cost of transportation and purchase of essential household items of VND 5 million/person. Support for travel expenses of 1.6 million VND/person/month for 24 months (except for those with standard transportation standards)...
