Ho Chi Minh City is facing numerous difficulties as the population is rising sharply.
Congestion in HCM City
The population has grown from three million after 1975 to 8.4 million. Another three million people from other provinces are studying and working in HCM City. As of now, the city has 7.6 million motorbikes, 700,000 cars and about one million other vehicles from other provinces. About 1,000 new motorbikes are registered each month.
According to the Department of Transport, the city’s 37.7 million square metres of road aren’t capable of supporting this number of vehicles, let alone maintain a decent traffic flow.
