Summary
Urban traffic congestion is a major concern in Vietnam. As major cities develop, the number of private vehicles, comprising motorbikes mostly, rises rapidly. The volume of registered vehicles in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), one of the largest cities in Vietnam, witnessed an approximately fivefold increase from 1.1 to 5.43 million in the period of 2000 to 2011 and is expected to rise by 2 million, reaching 7.43 million by the end of 2015 (Department of Transport HCMC, 2016). 5% of the city population utilizes this service and most citizens choose motorbike as their main transportation mode (Vu & Phuong, 2013). This number is quite low in comparison with a peer city characterized by high volume of two-wheelers, Jakarta, Indonesia, where 27% of trips have already been handled by public transportation (Amin et al, 2017)
