Jica assists Hanoi’s public transport

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) has sent experts to Hanoi to carry out a technical assistance project on improving public transport in the capital city.

Japanese experts arrived in Vietnam at the request of the Hanoi municipal People’s Committee, with the aim of making a detailed plan for the implementation of TRAHUD-II.

The two-year project, which is expected to be completed by June 2014, aims to minimise traffic congestion in Hanoi, raise the awareness of public transport, and increase the number of people using public transport, especially bus services.

Takagi Michimasa, chief advisor to the TRAHUD-II project, said Japanese experts would help build local transport managers’ capacity and increase the quality of public transport services to meet increasing demand from the public.
