Six high-quality buses will connect the city center with Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

The buses, costing a total of VND20 billion ($890,000), also have low-emission engines which meet European emission standards for trucks and buses.

It is expected the new number 109 service will provide passengers with a more comfortable ride and help cut air pollution.

Drivers have been trained in customer service and can communicate fluently in English.

Each bus can accommodate about 70 passengers with advanced functions to ensure passenger safety, such as automatic anti-jamming doors, anti-skid carpet and advanced shock absorbers.

The buses are low-riding, which helps passengers to step on and off more easily, especially the elderly, children and the disabled.

The buses run every 15 minutes, from 5 a.m to 1:30 a.m the following day, and fares range from VND12,000 for journeys less than five kilometers to VND20,000 for more than five kilometers.
