In the future, the e-ticket itself could be also used as E-money at many shopping malls all over Hanoi.

The Project will be carried out for 2 years from early 2018, aiming to improve the technical and management capacity of counterpart agencies under the Hanoi People’s Committee (HPC) for the development of interoperable smart card system for public transportation in Hanoi.

Within the scope of the Project, a common technical platform for an interoperable electronic ticket system for all methods of public transportation in Ha Noi City such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), bus and metro will be developed, which would facilitate a smooth usage for passengers commuting by public transport means using only one smart card.

In the future, the e-ticket itself could be also used as E-money at many shopping malls all over Hanoi. The project, therefore, would contribute to setting a potential basis for a smart city in the years to come.

Given the situation of serious traffic congestion, an increase of traffic accidents, deterioration of air pollution and difficult access to urban facilities, development of public transportations such as urban railways, BRT, and expansion of city bus network system have been pushed up. In this context, there must be an initiative to develop the common rules defining the technical details of the interoperable automatic fare collection (AFC) system from the front-end portion to the highest level of the clearing system to establish a mechanism for the settlement of payment among different transport operators.
