Hanoi’s first fast bus system still a work in progress
Many new facilities have already broken down while the dedicated lanes are occupied by other vehicles.
++++++++++++++++++++++ |
| The first bus rapid transit (BRT) in Hanoi was launched late last year. The number of passengers increased from 8,300 on January 1 to around 12,000 on January 6. |
 |
| Local media reported that many vehicles still drove into the dedicated lanes for the rapid buses, even after the morning rush hours. |
 |
| Facilities at many bus stops have not met the expected standards. |
 |
| These barriers reportedly made it difficult for some disabled passengers to access the buses. |
 |
| Some automatic doors at bus stops did not work properly on January 5. |
 |
| Some of the lighting systems did not work either. |
 |
| The operator said that these problems would be fixed this week. |
