Like many other Asian nations, Vietnam is experiencing rapid urbanisation. As of 2017, around 40 percent of the country’s 90-million population lived in urban areas. The figure is expected to rise to 50 percent by 2025.

In its strategy to develop public transport until 2020 within a vision to 2030, Vietnam sets a target of turning public transport into the top choice of people while controlling the growth of individual vehicles and improving urban transport quality.

It also strives to have 20 percent of buses and taxis using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG) or solar energy by 2020.
