HÀ NỘI — An additional 300 buses will operate in Hà Nội to meet commuter demand during the three-day holiday for the 72nd anniversary of National Day, starting September 2.

The number of passengers is expected to rise sharply on Friday night (September 1) and Saturday morning (September 2), the Hà Nội Transport Corporation said.

The corporation has asked transport companies to not increase ticket prices, not carry passengers beyond the permitted number, and not drink and drive, so as to avoid accidents.

Additionally, there will be continuous security presence at bus stations to maintain law and order, the company said.

The three holidays, approved by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, are from September 2 to 4 (Saturday to Monday). — VNS
