Hanoi plans to collect toll fees from cars entering downtown areas at up to VND60,000 ($2.65) a time, Hanoi Public Transport Management Center stated.

Cars under nine seats would pay a toll fee between VND25,000-60,000, while those above nine seats, plus trucks, would pay between VND15,000-40,000, the center stated in its proposed plan to collect toll fees from vehicles entering areas prone to traffic jams and pollution.

Toll fees would change depending on time frames from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Time frames with low traffic density would require small toll fees or none at all. There would be no toll fees during the weekends and holidays, the center added.
