The department also suggested that the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City propose the Ministry of Transport and the Government to consider the extension of must-installed cameras by December 31, 2023, instead of before July 01, 2021, following Decree No.10/2020/ND-CP to create favorable operation for businesses amid the complicatedly developing pandemic.
According to the Department of Transport, the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly affected public transport bus services.
The Department has decided to suspend the operation of 39 bus routes. The number of commuters traveling on subsided bus routes has reduced sharply and transport businesses' revenue has sharply fallen and they have been short of funds to make up operation and management costs.
