Ho Chi Minh City is experiencing a surge of both domestic and foreign private investment into its urban rail projects, offering a great opportunity for the city to develop a modern public transport network and save budget.

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called for the World Bank (WB)'s continued support and concessional loans targeting key infrastructure projects, including high-speed and urban rail systems, major seaports and airports.

Green transport underpins the development of a green economy. It requires establishing policies, attracting resources, and innovating economic tools to address climate change, manage resources, and protect the environment.

The Nhon-Hanoi Railway Station urban rail system in the capital city will undergo a test run starting from December 5 in limited conditions, according Sytra – the consulting contractor of the project.
