HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — A new bus route that runs from downtown HCM City to the international Tân Sơn Nhất Airport was launched on March 16.
Route 109 will operate from 12:00 am to 2:30 am and from 5:00 am to 11:45 pm, making 110 trips per day from the 23 September Park in District 1 to Tan Son Nhat Airport in Tân Binh District.
The 63-seat buses, imported from South Korea, will depart every 15 minutes on the 10.4km route, taking about 45 minutes to cover the distance.
The fare is VND12,000 (US$0.5) for distances less than five kilometres and VND20,000 ($0.8) for more than five kilometres.
The city now has two bus routes to the airport: No.152 and No.109.
