Downtown toll can reduce traffic congestion losses: HCMC officials

Major gateways in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were blocked by hundreds of thousands of people and vehicles Friday as people headed home for the five-day break.

Hanoi has been ranked the second most polluted city in Southeast Asia on the basis of incomplete data, says Vietnam.

Long lines of vehicles choked Hanoi streets Friday as people began their homeward journey for Tet.

Transport experts hope the service will combat air pollution and congestion in the Indonesian capital.

Set to open in 2017, then 2020, Saigon’s first metro line will not meet the delayed deadline either.

A $4.1 billion infrastructure project seeks to boost public transportation use and reduce traffic accidents in HCMC.

Traffic chaos ensued in many Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City streets as people looked to get away during the three-day break.

A court in the southern province of Dong Nai sentenced 15 people to jail and ordered probations on five others on Monday for blocking streets during last June's anti-SEZ protest.

Ten men who caused traffic obstruction on National Highway 1A for hours will be jailed for two to three and a half years.

Vietnam’s capital city has said no to a cable car across the Red River, saying such forms of transportation are not a priority.

City officials say the move aims to curb air pollution and traffic congestion.

The capital is limiting cars to parking on only one side of the road to tackle worsening congestion.

Asking the people who get stuck in traffic every day might be the best course of action.
