NLĐ - February 4^th, Mr, Tran The Ky, Deputy Director of HCMC Department of Transportation & Traffic said that the development of waterway bus at this time is appropriate (Labor Newspaper had reported on February 4^th)

Previously, the city had failed to implement waterway bus, the route from Bach Dang Wharf to Thanh Da peninsula. The reason is due to too short route, only the beginning place and ending place without any stops, the intermediate stations. He said we would study experience from this problem and invest more intermediate stations, awaiting houses, and connect to the road traffic to attract people in using.

The solution has been set the city will invest routes, yards while business invests means of transport and let enterprise activity both in tourism service and public passenger transport for "taking short-term business supports long-term business".

In the case, the city deploys and puts the waterway bus into the reality usage; if the business losses, Department of Transportation & Traffic will recommend the City to subsidy as road bus. The expectation to February 2010, Department of Transportation & Traffic will submit the City the outlines of three waterway routes surveyed, then select a route to promote and make a specific investment project if the City allows.
