The Hanoi Department of Tourism has issued an official dispatch on ensuring safety and security for railway traffic for tourists; in which it requires travel businesses in the city not to introduce or organize tours to bring tourists to the railway coffee business area, especially in the areas of Cua Nam, Hang Bong and Cua Dong wards.

In addition, the Department of Tourism requires businesses providing travel services and transporting tourists to seriously implement the regulations to ensure order and safety of railway traffic and urban order.

Over the years, the railway coffee business has become a place that attracts a large number of tourists, especially international visitors to the capital. The railway coffee business area has become one of the check-in spots that tourists cannot ignore when coming to Hanoi.

However, this business seriously violates railway safety regulations. According to railway traffic safety regulations, the minimum distance of the safety corridor is 3m. For railway lines in operation, any activity affecting this safety corridor is a violation.

In reality, many business areas are only 1 meter away from the railway, and with more and more tourists gathering, freely moving and taking photos on the railway corridor, there are many potential safety risks.

Previously, Hanoi had resolutely eliminated the business of coffee on the railway , but the violations continued to recur. The Vietnam Railway Authority also sent a document to the Hanoi People's Committee to take measures to prevent and disperse gatherings of people filming, taking photos, and drinking coffee in the railway safety corridor. Warning signs of "dangerous areas" in various languages ​​were hung at the beginning of the Tran Phu, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Dien Bien Phu level crossings... to warn.
