FUTA Bus Lines introduces a new fleet of Kim Long buses for the free transportation of government officials and public employees.
This proposal was presented by FUTA during a meeting with the Public Transport Management Center (under the HCMC Department of Construction) on June 30. The meeting followed the Center’s invitation to 16 potential transport providers to participate in the service. Based on FUTA’s proposal, the Center recommended that the Department of Construction agree to sign a service contract with FUTA in the initial phase while the Department of Finance is still developing the pricing plan and settlement guidelines.
The intended beneficiaries of this service are government officials, public employees, and workers of Party agencies, state agencies, the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations, and public non-business units in Ho Chi Minh City.
FUTA Bus Lines will provide 10 vehicles, including 4 45-seat buses and 6 16-seat buses, all manufactured in 2025. These vehicles will bear the “contract car” insignia and a sign saying “GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE TRANSPORTATION” on the windshield. The vehicles are equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi supporting 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies for device connectivity and operating systems. The drivers are licensed and experienced in passenger transportation.
The transportation routes comprise two lines: Binh Duong – Ho Chi Minh City and Ba Ria – Vung Tau – Ho Chi Minh City, and vice versa. The Center has worked with the Departments of Construction in Binh Duong and Ba Ria – Vung Tau to survey the routes and identify pick-up and drop-off locations along the lines.
To ensure smooth operations, the Center proposed that the Department of Construction coordinate with the Department of Home Affairs to implement the vehicle registration process and inform other departments and sectors about this service so that officials and employees can start using it from July 1, 2025.
One issue that arose was the restriction on vehicles with more than 16 seats traveling on Le Loi and Le Thanh Ton streets, near the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee. The Public Transport Center proposed that the Department of Construction direct the addition of a supplementary sign saying “Except for vehicles transporting employees to the HCMC People’s Committee” and send a document to the Traffic Police Division to facilitate the movement of vehicles participating in this program.
