After the route is adjusted, how does the bus depart from Giap Bat station?

TPO - Instead of turning right onto Giai Phong Street and then going to Kim Dong Street to turn around (about 1 km in a detour), the joint meeting of the Department of Transport - Public Security - Hanoi Traffic Police just agreed that from now until December 2024, passenger buses after leaving Giap Bat station can go straight to Giai Phong Street to the highway.

Instead of turning right onto Giai Phong Street and then going to Kim Dong Street to turn around (about 1 km in a detour), from now until December 2024, passenger buses after leaving Giap Bat station will be allowed to go straight onto Giai Phong Street to get to the highway.

Mr. Ngo Quoc Cuong, Captain of the Hoang Mai Traffic Inspection Team, Hanoi Department of Transport Inspectorate, said that this will help reduce traffic volume at the Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection and Kim Dong street, and help passenger cars departing from the station to get to the highway faster.

The above adjustment and traffic flow plan only applies to inter-provincial passenger buses, while public passenger buses are still allowed to turn right to enter the inner city.

The addition of a traffic light on Giai Phong Street in front of Giap Bat bus station makes traffic slower, but is suitable for the traffic situation and the construction of an underpass at the Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection.

Along with that, during the time when there are many buses departing from the station, the movement of buses to Giai Phong street is more difficult than usual.

The difficulty of traveling in the area in front of Giap Bat station gate is also due to the fact that some passenger vans stop to pick up passengers right on the road after leaving the station. In the photo: Passenger van with license plate 18B-01071 of Tam Lan (arrow), after leaving Giap Bat station on the afternoon of July 16, stopped right in front of the gate for the assistant to get off (red circle) to pick up more passengers and open the trunk to receive goods.

A representative of Giap Bat bus station said that before officially implementing the plan to adjust the departure routes of passenger cars and buses, the bus station had piloted it a week before.

After stabilization, the authorities met and agreed to implement it for a long time.

After more than a week of implementing the new plan to regulate and separate passenger and bus departures, a representative of Giap Bat bus station said that it has ensured the safe departure of more than 7,000 passenger vehicles and more than 15,000 buses.
