The elevated section of the pilot Nhon - Hanoi Station urban railway project has officially begun commercial operation, three months after its debut. This marks a pioneering step toward green transformation, laying the foundation for the capital's public and sustainable transportation development.
Three major transportation projects—the Hong Tien Overpass, the Au Co-Xuan Dieu Road, and the Nhon-Hanoi Station Metro Line—have been completed and are now operational in honor of Hanoi’s 70th Liberation Day anniversary.
Hanoi has been taking moves to 'green' public transport, especially when people in the capital city show their increasing interest to means of transport like electric vehicles and metro lines.
The newly-operated Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line served 256,126 passengers, mostly young people, during the first four days of operation from August 8-11, according to General Director of Hanoi Metro Co, Ltd Vu Hong Truong.
The 8.5km elevated section of the Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line provided free rides for over 250,000 passengers in its first four days of operation from August 8-11, according to its operator Hanoi Metro Co, Ltd.
The 8.5-km elevated section of the Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line, running from Nhon to Cau Giay, Hanoi, will open for commercial operation on August 9.
The Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line project is soon to be operational. This project is a green solution for urban transport, alleviating traffic congestion and pollution.
The Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line’s elevated section has received a safety certification by Apave - Bureau Veritas - Certifer (known as ABC Consultant) from France, giving it the paperwork needed to be operational.
The Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line is expected to begin commercial operation on its over-8-km elevated section running from Nhon to Cau Giay in late June or early July, after 14 years of construction.
Hanoi’s authorities have proposed delaying the operation of the elevated section of Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line, the second of its kind in Hanoi, to August 2023 instead of late 2022 as planned.
After the first five consecutive days of a test run, the Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line showed a feasibility rate of up to 99.65%, according to the Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board.
