Land transport in Việt Nam – then and now
Over the years, there have been significant changes to land transport in Việt Nam. People used to rely heavily on bicycles, but modern forms of transport have replaced them.
Bicycles
Had bicycles been an important means for many years before the advent of motorised vehicles? This was definitely true because they had played an essential role in Vietnamese daily life by the mid-20th century. Bicycles were used to get around, commute to work, transport goods to markets, and even to travel long distances. Streets full of bicycles made it a common sight.
Motor vehicles
As the economy grew, there was a need for faster and more efficient transport. This led to the introduction of motorbikes due to their speed and convenience. The motor vehicles on the roads had not increased dramatically until the 1990s. At the time, the government was trying to invest in new infrastructure, like highways and railways. People then had a greater variety of transport choices.
Modern-day vehicles
In recent years, the increasing number of cars resulting from economic development has been a new sign of social status. Cars, along with motorbikes, are one of the main vehicles for many city dwellers. In addition, tech-based services are becoming more competitive, providing people with a convenient and affordable way to move from one place to another.
