Land Transport System

Vietnam has a wide land transport system. Transportation network of national and provincial highways as well as local roads connect the provinces, cities and towns in the country. There are inter-province and inner-province bus stations in each province with convenient passenger services, which are being improved everyday. There are taxi services in many big cities and provinces. Taxi rate is declining due to competitions. In big cities, such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, there are everyday bus services on the main routes. In addition to public transport services, using motorbikes, cyclos, bicycles and other vehicles is common in Vietnam.
