Buses in Hanoi

The network includes subsidized buses, non-subsidized buses, airport buses and provincial buses that connect Hanoi with neighbouring provinces. As of November 2023, the city had 2,034 buses serving 154 bus lines, which included 132 subsidized lines (including airport buses), 8 non-subsidized, 12 provincial, and 2 city tour lines. These lines covered all 30 districts/towns, and 512/579 communes/wards around the city. The city also introduced electronic tickets and planned to replace 4,000 human conductors on buses in the near future. Subsidized buses There are currently over 100 government-subsidized bus routes in Hanoi, numbering from 01 to 126. Branch routes of a main route are usually marked by the number plus a letter. For example, 06B runs between Giap Bat Bus Station and Hong Van and shares most of its route with 06. The system also includes BRT and DRT services. Hanoi officials have been planning to put the compressed natural gas (CNG) buses into service with three new routes in July 2018. However, service only started two months later in September 2018. Seven routes use CNG busses in Hanoi, they are numbered from 157 to 163. Routes 23 (Nguyen Cong Tru), 56B (Vietnam Buddhist Academy) and 146 (Hao Nam) are loop routes. Non-subsidized buses Airport buses In addition to four subsidized routes serving Noi Bai International Airport: 07 (from Cau Giay Bus Interchange), 17 (from Long Bien Bus Interchange), 90 (from Kim Ma Bus Station) and 109 (from My Dinh Bus Station) Transerco also operates two high-quality non-subsidized routes, numbered 68, from Me Linh Plaza (Ha Dong) and 86, from Hanoi Railway Station. Provincial routes These routes connect Hanoi with nearby provinces like Hung Yen, Ha Nam, Bac Ninh and Bac Giang, as well as further districts from the city centre like Ba Vi. The fare is usually divided along different sections of the route, and usually mounts up to 20,000 - 30,000 ₫ for a whole trip between the termini. == Fares ==

Beginning from Nov. 1st 2024 to Sep. 1st 2025, complying with the Hanoi People's Committee's approval of Hanoi DoT's proposal, the new single journey ticket fares for subsidized bus routes are as follows: • ₫8,000 for bus routes no longer than 15km • ₫10,000 for bus routes between 15km and 25km long • ₫12,000 for bus routes between 25km and 30km long • ₫15,000 for bus routes between 30km and 40km long • ₫20,000 for bus routes longer than 40km with the fares of non-subsidized bus routes unaffected. Regular commuters can now purchase a monthly pass for ₫140,000 to use on 1 specific route or ₫280,000 to use on all routes. Students, industrial zone workers and the elderly pay half price for a monthly pass (₫70,000/₫140,000), group pay 30% less (₫100,000/₫200,000). Beginning from Sep. 2nd 2025, HanoiBus' and Hanoi Metro's fare systems will be unified, and to ensure fairness, the new bus fare system will be based on distance travelled rather than the average distance of a route. The fare formula will be as follows: (if paid by cash, the fare will be rounded to the nearest thousand VND) == List of bus routes in Hanoi (Updated March 2026)==
