Currently, the travel demand of people has surged dramatically during the National Day holiday on September 2nd, leading to a shortage of bus tickets on routes from Ha Tinh to Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, and other provinces. The “ticket sold out” situation is prevalent at reputable bus operators in Ha Tinh province, especially on long-distance routes and during peak hours.

In response to this situation, Thien Ha bus company, one of the reputable passenger transport units in Ha Tinh, has proactively implemented a plan to increase trips, especially on the Hanoi – Ha Tinh route. Mr. Tran Dinh Tien, manager of Thien Ha bus company, shared: “Predicting a 30-40% increase in passengers compared to normal days, the company has mobilized 3 additional high-quality sleeper buses from Ha Tinh to Hanoi and vice versa, increasing the number of trips to promptly meet the travel needs of people.”
Thien Ha bus company also confirmed that tickets have been on sale since August 15th, and most routes are now sold out. However, passengers can rest assured because the company is committed to not increasing ticket prices during this holiday. “We are committed to maintaining stable ticket prices, without increasing prices, while improving service quality so that people can safely and comfortably return to their hometown for the holiday,” Mr. Tien emphasized.

Records at Ha Tinh Bus Station show that the “ticket sold out” situation is not only happening at Thien Ha bus company but also spreading to many other major bus companies on key routes such as Hanoi, Da Nang, and Hue.

Ticket prices for the Ha Tinh – Hanoi route range from VND 200,000 to VND 400,000 depending on the type of bus, Ha Tinh – Da Nang is about VND 180,000 – VND 200,000, and Ha Tinh – Hue is VND 150,000…
