HÀ NỘI — The Việt Nam Railways Corporation (VNR) has announced that from June 12 to October 31, a discount ticket policy will be applied for students taking university entrance exams and enrolling during the 2024 exam season.

Students taking exams and enrolling at universities, colleges and vocational schools will receive a ten per cent discount on all train tickets.

Students, who need to show their exam notice or exam card, will be able to buy a discounted round-trip ticket for themselves and one for any accompanying relative.

Students only have to present their exam notice, exam card, enrollment notice, and valid identification documents to purchase train tickets at railway stations or official railway ticket outlets.

In addition, VNR is currently offering various promotional programmes and ticket discounts.

For instance, passengers purchasing individual tickets for the Thống Nhất trains, including SE1/SE2, SE3/SE4, SE5/SE6, SE7/SE8, SE9/SE10, SE11/SE12, with travel distances of 900 km or more, are eligible for discounts.

Individual tickets for the SE21/SE22 trains with travel distances of 600 km or more, SE29/SE30 trains with travel distances of 400 km or more and SNT1/SNT2 trains with travel distances of 300 km or more are also eligible for discounts.

VNR is also offering discounts on advance tickets—a five per cent discount will apply if you buy 20-39 days in advance, while a ten per cent discount will apply if passengers buy tickets 40 days or more in advance.

However, the discounts do not apply to four-bed cabins on the SE1/SE2, SNT1/SNT2 and SE3 trains.

For the SPT1/SPT2 trains, individual passengers purchasing tickets at least ten days in advance will receive a five per cent discount, again excluding four-bed cabins.

The railway still continues to offer free and discounted tickets for social policy beneficiaries such as Vietnamese heroic mothers, war invalids, the sick and those who are severely disabled.— VNS
