Ho Chi Minh City Metro Rail System Project <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong> - Revised<br />
Management Authority for Urban Railways Chapter 2 – Project Context<br />
suburban and urban rail networks to achieve this objective. The following chapter describes the<br />
current UMRT development plans derived from the approved Master Plan.<br />
30. In addition, the approved Master Plan stresses the need for restraint on private vehicle use<br />
due to inability to develop the road network as fast as the rising (unrestrained) demand for private<br />
vehicle use. The report proposes three complementary measures:<br />
To develop the road network according to the principle “integrating road development into<br />
public transport development”: segregated lanes for buses and trams must be planned on<br />
cross-sections of bridges, roads or wide enough median must be reserved for<br />
development of light train, metro.<br />
To develop multi-modal public transport system with wide network; to organize “from-doorto-door”<br />
transport in order to create convenience for passengers.<br />
To manage demand; to limit private means in order to support development of public<br />
transport, by means of vehicle ownership restraint (high registration fees); high parking<br />
charges; road pricing charges on trips to central areas.<br />
