The corporation said apart from the regular daily train schedule, it will operate additional ones on routes such as Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City, HCM City - Quy Nhon, HCM City - Nha Trang, HCM City - Phan Thiet, Hanoi - Vinh, Hanoi - Dong Hoi, Hanoi - Hai Phong, and Hanoi - Lao Cai.

During the holiday, VNR will still apply discounts of 5 - 7% on the return legs for round-trip tickets and reduce ticket prices for social policy beneficiaries, including Heroic Vietnamese Mothers, war invalids, the elderly, students, and trade unions’ members, it noted.
