The Hanoi People’s Committee has decided to offer free bus cards to the disabled in Hanoi.

This programme will be carried out o­n a trial basis for o­ne year, starting in November 2006.

 

Accordingly, all disabled who are able to use public transportation and want to use bus service will be granted the bus card, which will allow them to travel around the city free of charge.

 

The disabled can go to ward or commune People’s Committees or Patronage Associations for the Disabled and Orphans to register and receive the bus card.

 

Hanoi currently has around 22,800 disabled people, not including war invalids.
