Passengers can contact the hotline at 19007373 or access the website www.bxmt.com.vn for detailed instructions on buying tickets.
To ensure safe and thorough passenger transportation during the holiday, the Western Coach Station consulted the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transportation to collaborate with the transportation departments of Tien Giang, Ben Tre and Vinh Long provinces to regulate traffic flow in areas of Rach Mieu Bridge, My Thuan Bridge and National Highway No.1 and so on in order to avoid traffic congestion.
The unit also suggested the Ho Chi Minh City Public Transport Management Center add vehicles to the station to meet the high demand of passengers during peak periods.
