According to Dan Tri reporters, during National Day holidays, Metro Line 1 is always crowded.
People patiently queued up to buy tickets, eager to board the train and experience the first metro line in Ho Chi Minh City. Not only for transportation, many young people also consider this a unique check-in (photo) spot, capturing special moments during the holidays.
The metro line is even more impressive when it puts on a brilliant new look on the occasion of the 80th National Day, becoming a symbol of pride and modern vitality of the city.
Early in the morning of September 1, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong (34 years old, from Dong Nai ) with his wife and two children were present in the center of Ho Chi Minh City to have fun. Then, the whole family went down to Ben Thanh underground station to experience.
“The train line has been in operation for a long time, but due to my busy work schedule, I have not had the opportunity to take my family on it. Now that I have 4 days off in a row, I took the opportunity to take my wife and children there. The station and train are modern, clean, and create a comfortable feeling,” Phong shared.
During holidays, Ben Thanh underground station is not only the departure point of Metro Line 1 but also becomes a bustling fair space. Many fashion and cosmetic booths participate in displaying and selling products with many incentives. Many people experience the metro and take the opportunity to shop.

At the stations, staff of Urban Railway Company No. 1 are always on duty, guiding passengers to line up neatly and wait in the correct positions to ensure safety when the train enters and leaves the station.
Taking advantage of the holiday, Ms. Kim Duyen (living in Thu Duc) invited her friends to Thao Dien station to take pictures and then take the train to the center of Ho Chi Minh City. Sitting on a modern train, watching the city pass by through the glass window, Ms. Duyen compared this feeling to traveling by train in major cities around the world.
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2), Urban Railway Company No. 1 (HURC1) launched a program of free tickets for all passengers traveling on the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro line on September 2. This policy has attracted many people to experience, contributing to creating a vibrant atmosphere during the holiday.
After nearly a year of operation, the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro line has gradually become a familiar choice for many people.
Traveling by metro not only brings a modern and civilized experience but also significantly shortens travel time from the East to the center of Ho Chi Minh City.
At Ben Thanh underground station, the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City coordinated with many units to organize a special underground "fair".
Residents and visitors can both sightsee and shop, while experiencing modern services, providing convenience right in the heart of the city's iconic metro line.
As a regular metro passenger, Tuong Vi (26 years old) said she always chooses this train line as her means of transportation because of its civility, modernity and many conveniences. Not only is it convenient to travel, the changes in decoration at stations and train cars also make Vi excited, becoming the setting for her to keep her favorite photos.
During the September 2nd holiday, the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro train cars were always packed with passengers. Most of them were people from Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces who took the opportunity to experience the train ride. In addition to traveling, many passengers also chose the metro to see the city from above as well as explore the modernity of the underground stations.
Metro train No. 1 passes over Van Thanh 2 bridge, blending with the vibrant pace of life, outlining the modern and constantly growing urban appearance of Ho Chi Minh City.
On December 22, 2024, the first metro line of Ho Chi Minh City officially came into operation, meeting the travel needs of the people. Metro No. 1 has 14 stations, including 3 underground stations (Ben Thanh, City Theater, Ba Son) and 11 elevated stations (Van Thanh Park, Tan Cang, Thao Dien, An Phu, Rach Chiec, Phuoc Long, Binh Thai, Thu Duc, High-tech Park, National University, Suoi Tien Bus Station).
Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien) is the first metro line in Ho Chi Minh City. The project is designed in a modern style, connecting the city center with the eastern area, creating a turning point in the development of modern urban transport, reducing congestion and bringing a convenient travel experience to people.
These days, downtown Ho Chi Minh City is always bustling with international tourists and young people coming to have fun and take photos.
Banners, billboards, and posters are decorated on many central streets of Ho Chi Minh City such as Le Loi, Dong Khoi, Nguyen Hue, Le Thanh Ton, etc., contributing to creating a fresh, vibrant appearance, spreading a joyful atmosphere during the nation's important holidays.
