HCM City plans to open private lanes for buses on two major streets to speed up operating time and attract bus riders, among other plans to ease traffic congestion, according to the city’s Department of Transport. In the first plan, the buses would share lanes with motorbikes rather than lanes for cars. Streets in urban areas during peak hours face traffic congestion, making it difficult to open private lanes for buses, he said. The centre said that poor infrastructure and lack of private lanes had caused buses to run late, leading to a drop in the number of passengers.
