Buses No. 36 and. No 38, serving passengers traveling on the routes of Yên Phụ-Linh Đàm and Nam Thăng Long-Mai Động, were the first ones on the road, painted in blue with the new brand logo of pigeons and the image of Khuê Văn Các (the pavilion of the constellation of literature).

Deputy director of the corporation Nguyễn Việt Triều told the Giao thông (Transport) online newspaper that the new buses, which could carrying a maximum of 60 passengers each, met the EURO 3 standards on emission and were equipped with a GPS system and a speaker system to inform passengers of destinations.

In the near future, the corporation will step-by-step launch more buses of this type on all routes in the city. Additionally, the uniform of the bus drivers and driver’s assistants will be changed to blue to match with the colour of the new buses.
