Metro Line 1: A Catalyst for Digital Technology Development
Metro Line 1 is Ho Chi Minh City’s first urban railway project, with a total investment of over VND 43.7 trillion and a length of nearly 20 km, connecting Ben Thanh in District 1 to the Long Binh depot in Thu Duc. In addition to its 11 elevated stations, the line includes three underground stations: Ben Thanh, Opera House, and Ba Son.
The project aims to reduce traffic congestion and connect the city center with Ho Chi Minh City’s high-tech park. It features modern trains with a maximum speed of 110 km/h on elevated sections and 80 km/h underground, paired with intelligent control and monitoring systems and electronic payment solutions. Additionally, the project integrates with 17 electric bus routes directly connected to the metro stations.
