HANOI: The Vietnam Railways launched the country’s first metro rail service in Hanoi on November 6. The metro line has been called Cat Linh Line and is 13.1 km long. It connects Cat Linh to Yen Nghia with 12 stations. The first metro line was launched in Vietnam after years of delays and almost a doubling of production costs. The train is using Third Rail DC to ensure safety, stability and urban landscape.
CRRC, a Chinese firm, supplied a total of 13 (4-cars) Rolling Stock (Metro Trains) for this line. The first train was delivered in March 2017. The city of Hanoi has over five million motorbikes on the roads. With the introduction of the metro rail, the city corporation is aiming to reduce traffic and pollution caused due to vehicles.
