Hanoi plans to ban motorbikes in core districts after 2025, five years earlier than an earlier plan, in order to reduce traffic congestion and emissions.
The capital has around 5.6 million motorbikes and 600,000 automobiles.
Currently, in Hanoi, the public bus system plies 140 routes, meeting an estimated 31 percent of total demand.
The recently opened Cat Linh-Ha Dong metro service, along with the proposed Nhon-Hanoi Railway Station route, would each be able to meet 5-7 percent of travel demand in the city, according to an expert.
