Ho Chi Minh City passengers, drivers are getting off the buses

Buses, essentially the only public transport available in Ho Chi Minh City, are turning both passengers and drivers away due to a lack of investment, officials said at a conference on 4 December.
 
The city’s transport department estimated that the system will have seen nearly 324 million passenger journeys by the end of the year, down 11.7 percent from last year. The estimate is 13 percent lower than the annual target.
