If you want to go from Thao Dien to Cho Lon, you can go to Vo Nguyen Giap Street (the highway next to the MRT station) and catch bus route 06 or 56. It's recommended to take bus 06 because it runs on CNG and has a smooth ride. At the same time, bus 06 is equipped with a T10 machine at the front, just like bus 01, for cashless payments. You can try it; it's a ride we jokingly call a "roller coaster."

I'm guessing the Saigon committee met up and agreed it's too expensive to build new roads, and it didn't help much, so they use that budget to offer free buses….At the intersection of Tran Binh Trong intersection, you see the white tomb, that's Petrus Trương Vĩnh Ký tomb, he knew 27 languages and helped improve modern Vietnamese writing and was on the list of 20-30 scholars of the 19th century (I remember vaguely). Next to the tomb is the historical Love The Cross convent built during the French colonial days, and next to the convent is the 300yrs old Cho Quan parish, with the church build 2yrs after the Saigon Notre Dame….the atmosphere there is very nice. Thanks for the bus tour of Saigon Cholon.

Delusions of grandeur is what you are suffering from Kenneth. If you do not know what this is look it up.
You are not humble any more.
The rules apply to everyone including you in a civil society.
I am trying to help you as you can probably tell. But I fear you are not listening. Like the old saying goes.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.
What is the rules?
No racism.
No political agendas.
No religion.
You said you are too Asian for America.
We only can respect ourselves and not watch you anymore.
We humbly bow out.

Welcome to HCMC! Hope you enjoyed our city's development, I frequently use the city buses after they introduced the electric ones and phased out the CNG. I've been taking advantage of the student fares, which cover up 84,000/week. So, free bus will mitigate the financial burden, but not enough to encourage our citizens to use buses. I think if we take notes of the development of Amsterdam, where they restrict thru traffic and be strict in phasing out the mopeds, and encouraging cycling in the city would help too. Even if it is too early right now, it is worth making slight changes day by day, week by week, etc,…. I am pretty worried that the free buses, we'll have the income tax increased, which means it's just the same. Though I think that might discourage the use of petrol motorbikes, since the price of filling up 2L is worse than just using the free bus anyway.
