Hanoi's Transport Department is planning to provide 1,000 public bicycles, with half run on electricity, in five downtown districts, following the Ho Chi Minh City model.

As planned, the bikes will be placed within this year at 70-80 stations in the districts of Ba Dinh, Tay Ho, Dong Da, Thanh Xuan and near stations of the Cat Linh – Ha Dong metro line, the first of its kind in Hanoi and Vietnam that started operation late last year.

In the second phase of the project, 3,000 more bikes will be put into use at 350 stations between 2023 and 2024, Vietnam News Agency reported.
