The Da Nang People’s Committee has recently given the green light to the opening of a new Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF)- funded intra-city bus route: Vung Thung – the downtown 29 March Park – the East Sea Park.

The TMF-funded buses will operate every 20 minutes, and 15 minutes during peak hours, between 5.30am until 9.00pm on a daily basis.

The new service will operate at a total cost of over 16.1 billion VND for 5 years. Of this, 14.4 billion VND will be subsidized by the city budget. 

All expenses incurred during the operation of the new route, including the pay rise, fuel purchase, and fees arising from kilometers redemption will be covered by a reserve fund following the municipal administration’s approval.

Previously, in December 2018, 6 new intra-city bus routes, utilising a total of new 40-seater buses and travelling through some local suburb areas, was launched to the public.

These  routes are the former Han River Port - Hoa Tien Commune; the Inter-provincial Coach Station - the Marble Mountains Tourism area; the Inter-provincial Coach Station - Tho Quang; Kim Lien - the Viet Nam-South Korea Friendship IT Junior College; the former Han River Port - the Hoa Vang District Administration Centre; and the 29 March Park - the Da Nang Hi-tech Park.
