Passenger dispersal plans will be in place at major transit points, including Cat Linh, Cau Giay, and Long Bien stations, between 11:00–15:00 on August 30 and September 2.
At Cat Linh Station, eight routes with 83 buses will operate at 5–8 minute intervals. At Cau Giay Station, 14 routes with 130 buses will run every 3–5 minutes. At Long Bien Interchange, nine routes with 88 buses will run every 5–7 minutes.
For routes affected by detours, terminal changes, or turnarounds, operations will follow diversion plans issued by traffic authorities. Those requiring both turnaround and service changes will run on revised schedules once restrictions take effect.
The Hanoi Railway Company Limited (Hanoi Metro) has also been requested to adjust operations on metro lines 2A and 3.1.
On August 29 and September 1, services will run from 05:30 until 03:10 the next morning, with 10-minute intervals. On August 30 and September 2, trains will operate from 04:30 to 22:00, with 6-minute intervals during peak hours (04:30–07:30 and 11:00–14:00) and 10-minute intervals at other times.
To prepare for increased demand, the center has directed the distribution of backup paper tickets on both metro lines, the placement of additional mobile ticket booths at key stations, and advance ticket sales upon passenger request.
Entry and exit points at major stations, particularly Cat Linh, Cau Giay, Nhon, and Yen Nghia, will be arranged in a zigzag pattern with hard barriers to ensure orderly queuing and prevent overcrowding.
