This year, the trend of choosing to travel by train has shown clear signs of increasing. Not only because train ticket prices are relatively stable compared to the high price of air tickets, but also because people have the need to experience long journeys on the North-South Thong Nhat train line.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country, Vietnam Railways has launched a pair of trains SE1 and SE4 named "Reunification Train" across Vietnam, making this form of transport even more attractive to tourists. Tickets for this train were quickly booked by the people.

To better serve the travel needs of passengers, Vinh station has increased its staff to support people in traveling, ensuring safety, speed and convenience.

In addition to trains, bus stations also recorded a sharp increase in the number of passengers. At Bac Vinh Bus Station, from April 27 to 30, the number of buses departing increased by 20 to 30% compared to normal days. Notably, trips such as Vinh - Hanoi, Vinh - Da Nang, Vinh - Hue, Vinh - Ho Chi Minh City... were sold out a week ago if traveling on April 29 - 30.

The airport also has a plan to ensure flight safety, security and order for people returning home during the holiday.

To reduce pressure on public transport, the transport sector recommends that people should flexibly switch to private vehicles if possible. At the same time, if you have already purchased a one-way ticket, you should proactively book a return ticket to avoid the "red-eyed" situation of searching for tickets after the holiday. In addition, people can choose to travel during less busy times such as early morning or late at night to increase the possibility of getting tickets.
