Vietnam time
Tickets and fares
Paying
- Carry small notes — the conductor rarely has change for 500k ₫.
- Tell the conductor where you are going; show the stop name in Vietnamese (we give names as they appear on the signs).
When they run
- Most buses run from about 5:00 to 21:00; the metro until 22:00–23:00. Late in the evening only taxis are left.
- Times here are estimates: we work the timetable out from OpenStreetMap, not from the operator — so we never show departure times, only how often a line runs.
Apps
- BusMap — the operators’ timetables and buses on the map in real time.
- Grab, Xanh SM and Be — taxis and motorbike taxis with the price shown up front.
