HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Beginning July 1, passengers on Ho Chi Minh City’s Metro Line 1 connecting Ben Thanh and Suoi Tien will be able to use smart IC cards for automated fare payment at all stations along the route.

This move aims to improve service quality, diversify ticket purchasing options, and modernise the city’s public transportation system.

Van Thi Huu Tam, Deputy Director of HCM City’s Urban Railway Line 1 Co., Ltd., said that the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system will be deployed throughout the entire line. It includes four types of IC cards: single-trip cards, one-day passes, three-day passes, and rechargeable cards.

The single-trip card requires a deposit of 15,000 VND (0.6 USD) and is valid for one journey on the day it is issued. The one-day and three-day passes require a deposit of 35,000 VND (1.4 USD) each. These passes allow passengers unlimited travel either within one day or across three consecutive days, starting from the first time the card is scanned at a ticket gate.

The rechargeable card also requires a 35,000 VND deposit, with a minimum top-up of 10,000 VND and a maximum balance of 5 million VND, not including the deposit.

Passengers will be able to purchase IC cards from Ticket Vending Machines at stations using cash in denominations ranging from 1,000 VND to 200,000 VND. After selecting the card type and travel option and completing payment, the machine will issue the card and a receipt if requested.

At the end of their trip, passengers may return the card at a Fare Adjustment Machine to receive a refund of their deposit.

The fare rates have been set by HCM City’s People’s Committee. Single-trip fares range from 7,000 VND to 20,000 VND depending on the distance travelled. The one-day pass costs 40,000 VND per person, and the three-day pass costs 90,000 VND, both allowing unlimited travel during their valid periods. For rechargeable cards, fares will be deducted based on distance travelled, at a rate of 7,000 VND to 20,000 VND per trip.

🌃 Each card type has a specific validity period. The single-trip card is valid only on the day it is issued. The one-day and three-day passes must be activated within 15 days of issuance.

Rechargeable cards must be used at least once every 30 days to remain active. If no transactions occur within this period, the card will be temporarily deactivated. In such cases, passengers must visit a ticket counter to verify their card information and reactivate the card.

The introduction of the AFC system on Metro Line 1 is expected to encourage the use of public transportation, promote cashless payment methods, and enhance the overall travel experience. The initiative marks an important step toward developing a modern, efficient and user-friendly urban transit system in HCM City. /.
