Hanoi, HCM City struggle to ease car density in inner citiesVietNamNet Bridge - Hanoi seems to be moving ahead of HCMC in restricting private cars to enter the inner city. With just the ‘vehicle forbidden’ signboard, Hanoi has restricted the number of vehicles entering the inner city in rush hours. According to the Hanoi Transport Department, with the ban, 25,000 app-based taxis in Hanoi will have to stay out of traffic in rush hours. Since January 1, 2018, the car storage fee in the inner city has been raised sharply. ITD believes the solution will help reduce 40 percent of vehicles entering the inner city, thus easing traffic jams which cause the loss of VND140 billion to the city.
