From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buses are one of the main types of public transport in Hanoi, beside Hanoi Metro, operated by the state-owned Transerco and several private companies serving the city centre and towns in greater Hanoi as well as connecting Hanoi with neighbouring provinces. Buses in Hanoi are easily recognisable with their red and yellow paint scheme. Some buses are also painted green, blue and orange. The earliest bus service begins at 4:30 a.m. while the latest bus departure across the network is at 10:30 p.m. [1] Service may be extended to 11:30 p.m. on weekends on select routes. Most Hanoi buses are equipped with an audio system to announce the stops. LED panels at some bus stops display live route information.

Routes

The network includes subsidized buses, non-subsidized buses, airport buses and provincial buses that connect Hanoi with neighbouring provinces. As of November 2023, the city had 2,034 buses serving 154 bus lines, which included 132 subsidized lines (including airport buses), 8 non-subsidized, 12 provincial, and 2 city tour lines. These lines covered all 30 districts/towns, and 512/579 communes/wards around the city. The city also introduced electronic tickets and planned to replace 4,000 human conductors on buses in the near future. [2]

Subsidized buses

There are currently over 100 government- subsidized bus routes in Hanoi, numbering from 01 to 126. Branch routes of a main route are usually marked by the number plus a letter. For example, 06B runs between Giap Bat Bus Station and Hong Van and shares most of its route with 06. The system also includes BRT and DRT services.

Hanoi officials have been planning to put the compressed natural gas (CNG) buses into service with three new routes in July 2018. However, service only started two months later in September 2018. Seven routes use CNG busses in Hanoi, they are numbered from 157 to 163. Routes 18 ( National Economics University), 23 (Nguyen Cong Tru), 56B (Vietnam Buddhist Academy) and 146 (Hao Nam) are loop routes.

Non-subsidized buses

Airport buses

In addition to four subsidized routes serving Noi Bai International Airport: 07 (from Cau Giay Bus Station), 17 (from Long Bien Bus Interchange), 90 (from Kim Ma Bus Station) and 109 (from My Dinh Bus Station) Transerco also operates two high-quality non-subsidized routes, numbered 68, from Me Linh Plaza (Ha Dong) and 86, from Hanoi Railway Station. [3]

Provincial routes

These routes connect Hanoi with nearby provinces like Hung Yen, Ha Nam, Bac Ninh and Bac Giang, as well as further districts from the city centre like Ba Vi. The fare is usually divided along different sections of the route, and usually mounts up to 20,000 - 30,000 VND for a whole trip between the termini.

Fares

The fare for a single ride costs between VND 7,000 and VND 9,000 depending on the length of the route. Regular commuters can purchase a monthly pass at VND 100,000 to use on a specific route or VND 200,000 to use on all routes. Students, industrial zone workers and the elderly only have to pay half the price for a monthly pass. [4]
