Vietnamese conductors are now capable of controlling Hanoi first metro line’s trains independently.
Hanoi’s first metro line is being delayed eight times and its budget has been overrun several times, which has caused public frustration.
Hanoi's first metro line still depends on the safety evaluation from the French consultancy Apave-Certifier-Tricc (ACT) consortium before it can be handed over to the Ministry of Transport.
The deputy PM requested the general contractor to put the long-delayed Cat Linh-Ha Dong urban railway line into operation as soon as possible in 2020.
According to the Vietnam Register, the temporary registration certificate for 13 trains aims to support the trial operation of the Cat Linh - Ha Dong railway system.
