Abstract
The traffic in Ho Chi Minh City is the sum of the many types of transport available for travel within the city and between Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding areas. Being the largest urban center and an important traffic hub of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City has a modern and diversified infrastructure system with many major inter-regional roads, two major highways connecting the provinces from Western and Eastern South, and many major national highways. The Trans-Asia Highway crosses the city's boundary and the North-South Railway begins and ends at Sai Gon Railway Station. The only airport in the city, Tan Son Nhat International Airport, is also the largest airport in the country. Today, the city also owns and operates a network of public buses throughout the district and is developing a metro network to meet the growing needs of its residents. Besides the advantages of socio-economic superiority to other localities in the region and the whole country, HCMC has been and will continue to face many serious problems and risk becoming obstacles. In the development of the city, the emerging problem is the capacity and quality of the urban transport system. HCMC's urban transport features are primarily land-based, and this is also the dominant mode of addressing urban transportation needs.
