Metro Line 1, stretching 19.7 kilometers with 14 stations, connects downtown Ho Chi Minh City with Thu Duc City. As the first metro line in Vietnam to include an underground section, it also features advanced construction technologies. The project is funded through official development assistance (ODA) from the Japanese Government and counterpart funding from the national budget.Currently, the line operates 200 rides per day from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with each train capable of carrying nearly 1,000 passengers. Even in the early stages of operation, the metro has received a highly positive response from both residents and tourists, with peak daily ridership reaching up to 120,000 passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n

FPT is honored to be the technology provider for the comprehensive software system powering Metro Line 1. This includes the electronic ticketing system (excluding paper tickets) on the \u201cHCMC Metro HURC\u201d app, automatic fare calculation and collection processes, customer experience management, and integration of various station devices such as credit\/debit card readers, QR code scanners, and chip-based national ID (CCCD) readers. FPT also implemented the security control system, access gates, and an IT infrastructure with high flexibility and cloud security standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The e-ticketing system and smart ticket gates were rapidly deployed by FPT in partnership with Mastercard to ensure timely readiness for operation. This system offers flexible ticket purchasing and payment methods aligned with the Industry 4.0 trend. Notably, it allows riders to use their CCCD for identity verification and ticket access\u2014underscoring Vietnam\u2019s \u201cMake in Vietnam\u201d technological capabilities in this key smart transportation project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since entering operation, Metro Line 1 has served over 5,146,878 passengers, averaging 50,000 rides per day, and continues to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback. During the fare collection phase (starting January 21, 2025), the usage rate for ticket purchases via the HCMC Metro HURC app reached 25%, significantly outperforming other cashless methods (10% via Mastercard-linked bank cards and 1% via MoMo e-wallet). Particularly, priority groups such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and national contributors can use their CCCD to scan and access the metro free of charge.In March, additional ticket purchase and payment methods will be introduced to further promote cashless payment habits within the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s inauguration marks the beginning of a new chapter in developing a modern urban transportation system.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
