The automatic fare collection (AFC) system for HCMC's Metro line No.1 is outdated and out of touch with today's non-cash payment trends, officials say.

 

Work on the city's first metro line running 19.7km between Ben Thanh Market in District 1 and Long Binh Depot in Thu Duc City began in 2012. It was scheduled to become operational in 2018.

 

In line with the initial plan, the investor, HCMC Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR), had started designing the AFC system in 2010.
