The price of a ticket for a whole day is 24,000 VND. The monthly ticket price is equivalent to the Cat Linh - Ha Dong route: 200,000 VND/month for regular passengers and 100,000 VND/month for students. The elderly can take the train for free.

The difference with the Cat Linh - Ha Dong train is that passengers on the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station train can use hard cards or coin-shaped tokens to pass through the ticket gate.

Passengers feel that the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station train is faster than the Cat Linh - Ha Dong train. However, because of this, the process of starting or stopping the train can easily cause passengers to lose balance. MRB leaders said they will consider fixing this problem (Photo: Thanh Dong).
