Many people who live near My Dinh Station in Tu Liem District have proposed that the station be relocated due to chaos it has caused.
Unlicensed coach stops at My Dinh Station
The station, which was put into operation more than 10 years ago, receives over 1,000 vehicles per day. Situated in one of the most developed areas in Hanoi, the station has quickly come to play an important role in traffic and shipping, connecting Hanoi and the northern region.
However, many coach drivers often pick up passengers along Pham Hung Street which is runs by the station, forming illegal stops and often blocking the bus lane, leading to traffic jams.
Hygiene and security has also become an issue in the area around the station. Many people openly relieve themselves in public, and reports of theft are quite high. Authorities seem to be unable to deal with these problems so far.
Tran Trung Dung, who lives near My Dinh Station, said it was quite normal to see traffic jams here, adding that buses often block intersections to pick up extra passengers.

Picking up passengers illegally
Vu Ngoc Bich, a student, who often goes through the station, said, “Police seem to only pay attention to the station gate, not the areas surrounding it. Taxis and motorbike taxis also scramble to the parking lot looking for fares, causing a lot of congestion."
My Dinh Commune has witnessed rapid urbanisation in recent years with a number of new high-rise buildings, residential areas and trade centres, increasing the traffic seen at the station.
The Hanoi People’s Committee has plans to move My Dinh Station to a new location, but the plans have yet to be initiated.
