Ben Thanh metro train

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Management Board, metro line 1 Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien will increase its operating hours, running all night to serve visitors and welcome the New Year on the evening of January 29, 2025 (the first day of the Lunar New Year).

Accordingly, during the upcoming Lunar New Year, the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro line will increase its daily operating time, a change from the previous plan to reduce it.

People choose to travel by metro to work every day.

Specifically, from January 24 to 28 (25-29 of Tet), the train will run from 5am to 11pm, one hour longer than usual.

In order to serve the people and tourists to have fun, watch fireworks, and celebrate New Year's Eve, on January 29 (the first day of Tet), in addition to the schedule from 5:00 to 23:00, the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro will run an additional time from 0:30 to 2:00.

From January 30 to February 2 (the 2nd and 5th of Tet), the train will run from 5am to 10pm.

Previously, Ho Chi Minh City also increased the operating time and frequency of metro trips during the New Year holiday to create favorable conditions for people to travel and experience new forms of transportation.

According to the plan, after 30 days of free travel, starting from January 21, passengers on metro line 1 will officially pay for tickets with the options of buying single tickets, daily tickets or monthly tickets for convenient travel.

One-way ticket prices range from VND7,000 to VND20,000 for cash payments and from VND6,000 to VND19,000 for cashless payments.

1-day ticket costs 40,000 VND/person, 3-day ticket costs 90,000 VND/person (unlimited trips).

In addition, monthly tickets cost 300,000 VND/person for general passengers and 150,000 VND/person for students.

Passengers who buy single tickets at the counter in cash will receive a paper ticket with a QR code to scan when entering the station, or can pay by international EMV card or domestic card.
