Dong Nai transported more than 2,500 officials after the merger

After one month of implementing the Plan to organize shuttle buses for officials, civil servants, public employees and workers from the former Binh Phuoc province to Dong Nai to work (July 2025), the Department of Construction of Dong Nai province has recorded many positive results, contributing to ensuring the effectiveness of human resource organization after administrative merger.

According to the preliminary report of the Department of Construction of Dong Nai province, from July 1 to July 28, the whole province organized 63 bus trips with a total of 2,507 people being picked up and dropped off, ensuring on schedule, safety and economy. The pick-up and drop-off are carried out on fixed days of the week (Monday and Thursday), flexibly according to the number of registrations and actual needs of departments, branches and units.

The Department of Construction has proactively coordinated with departments, agencies and sectors to plan and coordinate vehicles. The organization of the trips is announced in advance, listening to feedback to adjust the route and frequency to suit actual needs. In the first month, there were 58 45-seat buses, 2 29-seat buses, and 3 16-seat buses mobilized.

The notable point is the high level of consensus and response from officials, civil servants and workers. Many people consider this a practical policy, helping to save time and costs, while reducing the pressure of moving after the administrative merger from Binh Phuoc province to Dong Nai.

Although many positive results were achieved, the report also pointed out some difficulties in the implementation process. During the 1 month of implementation, the number of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers of departments and agencies using shuttle buses was very small. To avoid waste, the Department of Construction coordinated with departments and agencies to arrange carpooling (many people, many agencies shared 1 car to ensure efficiency). There are still a few agencies that have registered relatively large travel needs, but have not yet used them (Provincial Police: 341 people, Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board: 72 people).

Regarding costs, the total cost of the shuttle service in July was 346.3 million VND, including VAT and road tolls. This cost is considered reasonable compared to the market level. The three transport units selected to carry out the service are: Phuong Thu Trang LLC, Thai Loan Transport and Tourism LLC, and Hoang Ha DL Tourism Service LLC - all of which are reputable and offer competitive prices.

Based on the initial results, the Department of Construction proposed that the Provincial People's Committee continue to allow the implementation of the weekly pick-up and drop-off plan in the following months, from now until the end of 2025. At the same time, it proposed to maintain car rental contracts with approved units, ensuring the travel needs of officials and civil servants during the organizational restructuring period. In addition, the Department also proposed to assign budget estimates directly to transport units, avoiding the need to sign separate contracts with each department and branch - which is time-consuming and ineffective in coordination.
