Services run every day between 05:30 and 20:30 with departures every half an hour in each direction. Ho Chi Minh’s public transportation authority has set the fares between VND7,000 and VND10,000. The actual fare paid is dependent on the number of stops travelled.
The fare equates to around 40 cents US or THB15 and is a bargain for the budget conscious looking for a cheap way to get to and from Tan Son Nhat Airport. Traffic congestion around the airport is pretty bad during weekday morning and evening commuter hours and Ho Chi Minh council has been looking at ways to improve travel options for passengers using the facility.
A local developer recently proposed the construction of a cable-car system to transport passengers over the last few streets to the airport. The city’s long-term plan is to build a new airport farther from the city. Authorities have given Long Thanh Airport the green light, but it will not be ready to welcome its first flights until at least 2025.
