As observed at the Da Nang Inter-provincial Coach Station, the number of vehicles moving in and out was not high. There are very few people buying fares for their coach rides back to their hometowns.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Phung, 35, a taxi driver in the city, said that there was no hike in the number of  passengers arriving and leaving the city, just a little more crowded than usual.

At the Da Nang Railway Station and the Da Nang International Airport, due to the higher number of passengers arriving on weekdays, there was a slight congestion early in the morning, mainly due to cars picking up and dropping off passengers.

Along such large streets as Nguyen Huu Tho, Duy Tan, Le Dinh Ly, Hai Phong and Hoang Hoa Tham around the station and airport areas, from morning to afternoon of April 30, the volume of vehicles moving was not too high.

At the Da Nang Inter-Provincial Coach Station, there were a small number of passengers onboard coaches running on the route Da Nang - Quy Nhon, Da Nang - Gia Lai, Da Nang - the Western region.

Meanwhile, coaches leaving Da Nang for such northern provinces as Quang Binh, Ha Tinh and Nghe An recorded an increase of about 20% in passenger numbers.

Particularly on Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, due to the influence of the construction of the water supply and drainage system, a partial congestion occurred.
