Metro Line 1 Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien is currently a "hot" name on all social media platforms. A series of sparkling check-in photos and excited shares from young people participating in the first test run experience make everyone curious.

On December 13, Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien) officially opened for Ho Chi Minh City residents to experience. This is a long-awaited event, marking a major step forward for the city in developing a modern public transport system.

The metro line is nearly 20km long, passing through 14 stations (3 underground stations and 11 elevated stations), connecting the city center with the Suoi Tien area. Images from metro line 1 quickly attracted attention on social networks. Ben Thanh station, with its large skylight design and modern space, has become a popular check-in spot for many people. Many comments compared the metro line to similar systems in big cities like Seoul or Bangkok.

Young person Ngoc Minh (21 years old) shared: "I tried the Suoi Tien metro line, the space is clean and airy. It only takes about 30 minutes from Ben Thanh to Suoi Tien, it is really convenient."

The Management Board of Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway (MAUR) has opened the experience program from December 13 to December 21, with 200 registrations per day. The conditions for participation are simple: just click "like" and "follow" the fan.page HCMC METRO. However, just a few hours after the announcement, all registrations were sold out. However, the program will still last until December 21, and each day there will be a new registration link. Many people are waiting to not miss the opportunity to participate in this experience.

Most of the young people who participated were excited to share their positive feelings about the metro line. The train runs smoothly, fast and is extremely modern. In particular, the signs and announcements are very clear and easy to understand, helping first-time users not to be confused.

Mr. Duy (24 years old) shared: "The Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Metro system is similar to Seoul (Korea) but I find the information more complete, probably because Saigon people are new to the metro. What I like most is the clean, modern space, feeling like experiencing an international-class transportation system."

Not only providing convenience for travel, metro line 1 also receives much attention thanks to its reasonable ticket price, suitable for a variety of users. Single tickets cost from 6,000 - 20,000 VND, depending on the distance traveled. In addition, a daily ticket priced at 40,000 VND allows passengers to travel unlimitedly during the day, very suitable for those who need to travel a lot. In particular, students enjoy a preferential rate of only 6,000 VND/trip, helping to save costs significantly.

In addition, Ben Thanh station with its 4 underground floors and large skylight also attracts the attention of many people. The space here has a modern style, becoming a favorite place for photography enthusiasts and a place for locals and tourists to explore the new beauty of the city.

Metro Line 1 is expected to be commercially operational from December 22, 2024. For the first month, all Ho Chi Minh City residents will be able to experience it for free. This is an important step in improving public transportation and enhancing the quality of life in the city. With the excitement and attention of the community, Metro Line 1 is gradually becoming a new symbol of Ho Chi Minh City.

Mr. Le Minh Triet, Director of HURC1 emphasized: The payment system is established to increase convenience for passengers using public passenger transport services by urban railway, while promoting cashless payment with the criteria of speed, convenience and safety.

Therefore, city residents do not have to queue when buying tickets for Metro Line 1. The operator of Metro Line 1 Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien divides the use of train cards into 2 phases.

From January 10 to January 20, 2025, people will use bank cards, EMV cards of domestic and foreign organizations, register virtual cards to experience the metro via Apple Pay/Samsung Pay. At the same time, the operator will put into use the HCMC Metro application on the phone for train passengers to register for accounts and make payments.
