At a workshop on reducing traffic congestion HCMC recently, Dr. Huynh The Du - Director Training Program Fulbright Economics Teaching express an opinion that one of the main solutions to reduce accidents, congestion information in Saigon is restricting the use of private vehicles, especially cars.
Solutions include implementation of policies increase the cost (taxes and fees) and reduced comfort ( street parking is not for or not to use some roads). Comments by Dr. Huynh The Du must do "headache" of manufacturers and automotive business is expected in the tremendous growth of this market when the income of Vietnamese people is constantly increasing. According to City Department of Transportation, as of the end of 2015, the number of cars has reached 600,000 City, not to mention more than 60,000 automotive operations sea provinces in the city. This figure has tended to rise sharply in the area of road renewal does not increase adequately. According to Dr. Huynh The Du, the popularity of motorcycles easily create a sense of whether they are perpetrators of any traffic problems Vietnam's urban centers. However, the reality is not necessarily so and the limited use of private vehicles, should first focus on the cars for at least the following three reasons. First, the current urban configuration in Vietnam urban areas, motor vehicles seem to be the most suitable travel. Any other type of alternative transportation in the City motorbike, while only about 8% of the area for traffic with thousands of kilometers of alleys suitable only for single motor, the ability to become a beach city giant parking is very high. A four-passenger car occupied by 3-5 area bike path should the transition from motorcycles to cars was the main culprit as the urban traffic situation the day a rather worse motorcycle itself. What would happen if 10% of users currently in the City Motorcycle switch to cars? Second, look at the present, the motorcycle is often seen as objects need to adjust the most. However, assuming the policy restricting the use of motorcycles are applied simultaneously, then almost all households will be affected and the strong protests of the past is unavoidable. Third, road toll revenues for the construction and maintenance of infrastructure is an important objective of the policy limiting the use of personal vehicles. To achieve this goal should be levied on those who can afford to pay. The car owners can afford to pay much higher motorcycle owners, while the cost of operating revenues for the motorcycles will be much larger. Dr. Huynh The Du also made comments about increasing Saigon bus number 2-3 fold in the next 5-10 years (proportion 500-1000 bus / million inhabitants). "A well-organized urban will consist of three main forms or structures include: Zone center for office buildings and commercial centers (mostly senior); The corridor development along public transport routes such as the subway, bus and tram overhead fast with condominiums and high-rise shopping center near the station; The adjacent town houses or villa style house with low density. This is the kind of urban form that City should aspire to. In order to create this urban morphology, the city needs to attach mounts gentrification program to build public transport system to guide development based on public transport corridors (TOD) ", Dr. Huynh The Du proposal.
