Further deployment of the vehicle will depend of its efficiency and the city’s management during the experimental period.
Some 20 electronic buses will be deployed to serve tourists contemplating trade streets in Hà Nội’s Old Quarter.
The buses are designed for around 5-12 passengers for each turn. A ticket costs around US $1 (VND 10,000-30,000).
