On the afternoon of December 31 at the Mien Dong Bus Station (Binh Thanh District), the number of passengers who came to the bus station was very crowded. As PV Thanh Nien pointed out, many passengers arrive at the station in time for the bus to return home to welcome New Year’s Eve. With regular security forces, the situation inside and outside the station is orderly and stable.

Wish a better new year

Nguyen Truong Hai (bus station staff) said that last year was a very difficult year when he himself was influenced by the translation of Covid-19.

“I also have difficulty driving a motorcycle taxi at the bus station. Last year, my income dropped dramatically.” Even the bus station had to reduce labor due to the impact of the epidemic, some employees had to move to the new Mien Dong bus station. Hope for the new year that everything is over, for all luck to come to the country, ”he shared.

On the way to buy a ticket to Gia Lai, Mr. Duong Van Nhan (52 years old) confided: “Last year’s economy caused everyone to be in trouble, I also lingered for several months as a security guard. There are also a few hours until the new year passes, I just want the epidemic to pass quickly so that next year I will have more luck and a more stable life ”.

At 5 in the afternoon, the number of people was crowding more and more. However, the security guards here are always actively monitoring body temperature and constantly reminding them to wear masks.

Take advantage of family reunification at home

As PV Thanh Nien pointed out, at 12:30 pm on December 31 at the Mien Tay bus station (Binh Tan district), the number of people entering the station was increasing. Most people are aware of epidemic prevention with medical masks. The bus station guard regularly measures the temperature for incoming and outgoing visitors.

“I intend to go back to my hometown earlier, but today I have to take the midterm exam. I packed my clothes, just finished the exam, and ran to the bus station. I didn’t buy a ticket in advance because I didn’t think it would be that full, I thought it wouldn’t be a problem if I could go back to my hometown for a long time, ”said Nguyen Ngoc Tuong Vy (21, from Soc Trang).

Working as a worker in Binh Tan, Mr. Duy Phuc (32 years old, from Dong Thap) takes advantage of the New Year with his wife and children to go home to visit their parents. “Even though it’s only been 3 days when I go home, being around my parents is fine. My father is not in good health at the moment, so my family takes this opportunity to visit him. After that, my wife and I continued to work here to earn more money for the Lunar New Year, “added Mr. Phuc.

Mr. Tran Nhan Hau – Head of the West Bus Station Ticket Office said that on December 31, the number of visitors coming here increased compared to normal. “The bus station is expected to receive between 30,000 and 32,000 passengers, an increase of 26% compared to normal days. However, it is equal to normal days compared to the time before the epidemic, ”added Mr. Hau.

To ensure safety in preventing illness, the bus station has arranged an antiseptic hand washing and temperature measurement for incoming and outgoing guests.
