Asian Development Bank TA7343 Ho Chi Minh City MRT Line 2 Project MVA Asia Ltd Final Report – November 2010 Figure 3.2 “Optimised” HCMC MRT Master Plan 3.3.4 Analysis was undertaken of various master plan improvement options using the transport forecasting models under TA4862. The alignment and engineering feasibility of the options was also briefly reviewed in determining the preferred solutions. The indicative estimated changes and benefits of the proposed modifications to the master plan are summarized in Table 3.2-1 below. As can be seen, the improvements require an increase in MRT network of 11%, but increase in investment of only 8%, and yet a revenue increase of 16%. 3-4
Asian Development Bank TA7343 Ho Chi Minh City MRT Line 2 Project MVA Asia Ltd Final Report – November 2010 Table 3.1 Summary Comparison of Reference Case and the Possible Future Network 3.4 Latest Master Plan Issues (October 2010) 3.4.1 Whilst the recommendations in the Optimised MRT Master Plan were proposed to MOC, only some elements have to date been put forward for formal approval by the Prime Minister. The main proposal to be adopted is the extension of Line 1 onto Line 3A, but leaving the “old” eastern section of Line 3 (confusingly now also called “Line 3B”) as per the original masterplan. This results in the “Latest” Master Plan as shown on Figure 3.3. 3.4.2 Whilst it appears that the Latest MRT Master Plan might be considered as an interim step toward the Optimised Plan, it also appears that the Latest Plan is being used as the basis for planning and design of the individual MRT Lines, and interchanges between lines. This raises several areas of serious concern, both for Line 2 and the network as a whole. Line 2 Extension to An Suong 3.4.3 This extension is considered essential for Line 2, since a very large proportion of Line 2 passengers are expected to interchange from the regional buses which currently terminate at An Suong bus station. The An Suong extension is assumed in the long term forecasts and project appraisal for Line 2 although the feasibility will be studied further during Tranche 1 of the ADB loan for the Project. Line 2 Alignment along Ham Nghi toward Thu Thiem 3.4.4 The alignment of Line 2 toward the river, as shown on the Approved (and Latest) Master Plan, is not feasible due to the narrow streets, dense development and high rise buildings in this area. The current feasibility studies for Line 2 assume the straighter alignment along the wide Ham Nghi boulevard toward the future river crossing. 3.4.5 With the Ham Nghi alignment, Line 2 will pass under the river close to the road tunnel which is currently under construction. The plans for the road tunnel and alignment on Thu Thiem have been checked, and it is confirmed that the planned Line 2 tunnel and alignment is viable. Of course the master plan for future development on Thu Thiem will need to be reviewed to accommodate the proposed alignment for Line 2. 3-5
