Progress on the metro continues, but a tax dispute has left some necessary equipment languishing at port, Le Nguyen Minh Quang, head of the HCM City Management Authority for Urban Railways told a press briefing on Friday.
Work on an eight-floor operation centre and related works for HCM City''s
second metro route from Ben Thanh Market to Tham Luong began yesterday
in District 12.
The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) yesterday signed an
agreement to provide a non-refundable US$1.5 million grant to the HCM
City''s Management Authority for Urban Railways to establish an
integrated telecommunications control centre for the city''s metro rail
system.
