On the morning of January 8, Hanoi Transport Corporation (Transerco) held a conference to review production and business activities in 2024 and deploy the work plan for 2025. Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen attended and delivered a speech at the conference.

Bus passengers in the capital increased by 4.5%

Reporting at the conference, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nam - General Director of Transerco said that in 2024, the Corporation completed the planned targets and tasks assigned by the City; maintained stable production and business activities in the context of many fluctuations in the socio-economic situation; proactively reviewed the overall and restructured the bus network; focused on effectively implementing solutions to control and improve service quality.

Regarding public passenger transport, Transerco has operated more than 3.4 million vehicles, equal to 98.2% of the plan. The total passenger transport volume tends to increase compared to the same period last year, estimated at over 234 million, up 4.5% compared to 2023, accounting for about 58% of the total transport volume of the city.

The two airport bus routes transported 394,937 passengers, reaching 85% of the plan. The City Tour route transported 202,887 passengers, exceeding the plan by 30%, a growth compared to the same period.

In 2024, bus station operations will continue to face competition from other types of passenger transport (Limousine, shared vehicles, etc.), causing a significant decrease in fixed-route passenger volume as well as operating revenue. Adjusting the frequency and terminal points of some bus routes at the request of state management agencies will also partly affect the operating results of station operators.
