Water Bus – Transport and Tourism in Vietnam Entrance Control Management Case Study

Water Bus – Transport and Tourism in Vietnam Entrance Control Management Case Study

Project Description:

Project Site: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam;

End User: Water Bus Vietnam;


Water Bus service in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City was officially launched on 25th November 2017 after several months of test run. The water bus route runs along the Saigon River, connecting Bach Dang Port in District 1 with Linh Dong Ward in District Thu Duc. The water bus picks up passengers at 12 stops. It will traverse 10.3 km in half an hour. There will be five boats serving for the route, each with 80 seats.

The overcrowded traffic has been a major headache for Ho Chi Minh citizens. Population growth and an increasing number of motorbikes and cars have worsened traffic congestion in the city. Currently, there are close to eight million motorbikes and over half a million cars in Ho Chi Minh City. However, transport infrastructure development in this city remains limited. The public transit usage in Ho Chi Minh City is only 10%. Residents in Ho Chi Minh City have been eager for a dependable public transport system. The water bus service is welcomed by the citizens as it is expected to help alleviate traffic congestions and promote tourism on Saigon River.
