Known as Plan 428, Ha Noi Metro’s initiative to use digital identification and authentication, along with biometric recognition at metro stations, has delivered a more modern, secure and convenient travel experience for the capital’s residents, contributing to the development of a smart and sustainable public transport system.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh inspected and offered encouragement to the forces working on the Nhon – Ha Noi Station urban railway line in the capital city on February 22.

 Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has emphasised the importance of developing the railway industry and its ecosystem in a sustainable manner, with a focus on industrialisation and modernisation.

Ha Noi Metro Co. Ltd. on October 4 announced the launch of phase two of its pilot programme on electronic identification, authentication, and biometric recognition on Metro Line 2A (Cat Linh – Ha Dong).

On June 9, Chairman of Ha Noi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh held a meeting with the Ha Noi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB) to inspect and accelerate the implementation of urban railway projects in the area.

In response, the two cities are taking steps to speed up implementation, aiming to build a modern, integrated transport infrastructure to meet long-term development goals.
