Posh new buses with leather seats come to Hanoi
VOV.VN - Twenty brand new buses are being put into service on routes throughout Hanoi, say Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) officials.

The buses are expensive and represent quite an investment. Above, on the first day of service (Dec. 29) a new bus gets caught up in traffic congestion on Le Van Luong Street. |

Brand new bus meets its first traffic jam at 11:00 a.m. on December 29 on the Le Van Luong-Lang Ha Overpass. |

The new busses find it hard to maintain schedules due to traffic jams. Pictured is a rapid bus snarled in traffic on Kim Ma Street. |

On To Huu Street, the street is empty and the bus zooms right along right on schedule. |

All 20 buses will go into service on January 1, say BRT officials. |
