Five major cities of Vietnam - Ha Noi Capital, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Da Nang and Can Tho – have been ordered to pilot public bicycle rental services in downtown areas.

On November 2013,  Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai’s ordered is submitted by the Transport Ministry on developing different means of transport in big cities in Viet Nam. Mr. Hai also instructed the cities to build a detailed road map to limit the use of personal vehicles and improve public transport by 2015.

This project is warmly supported by experts and people. In a recent government-supported project, Hanoi is among the five major cities in Vietnam that will implement the bike rentals program to encourage people to use this environmentally-friendly mean of transport.

Travel expense is low so anyone can use bicycles. Especially in the downtown areas, such as the old quarter in Hanoi, where the traffic flow is dense, bicycles are very appropriate.  Recently, several private companies were ready to run bicycle rental services at very reasonable rates. The rent  will be reasonable  about VND4,000-5,000 per hour. The Dong Xuan ‘s company will initially offer about 250 bicycles in Hoan Kiem district. The vehicles will be managed by electronic cards. Bicycles for rent will be available at bus stops or tourist attractions, especially the Old Quarter.
