Ha Noi launch open-top bus tour

The Ha Noi Transport and Services Corporation (Transerco) is completing final preparations to officially launch a pilot program of open-top bus tours today, to serve the capital’s tourism development.  

In the first phase of the project, three double-decker buses are expected to be delivered to Ha Noi this week.  So far, the city Department of Transport has approved the operation route.

Meanwhile, Transerco is promptly finalizing procedures to propose the department grant licenses for the construction of 13 stops, including one stop to provide information for passengers at Hoan Kiem Lake.

The corporation also proposed flexible ticket plans for passengers: 24-hour and 48-hour tickets. Interpreter information about landscapes and historical relics along the city tour route was edited and received ideas of the city Party Committee Commission for Popularization and Education, Department of Culture and Sports, and Department of Tourism, before being published.
