Great News! Bring Your Foldable Bike on the Metro in Ho Chi Minh City
Foldable Bikes Welcome Aboard Metro Line 1
Exciting times for commuters in Ho Chi Minh City! Starting August 1st, the Urban Railway Company No. 1 is launching a pilot program allowing passengers to bring their personal foldable bikes on Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien).
This initiative, running from August 1st to October 31st, 2025, aims to promote green transportation and seamless integration of personal and public transit.
Important Guidelines for Bringing Your Foldable Bike
Here's what you need to know to ensure a smooth ride with your foldable bicycle:
- Folded and Enclosed: Your bike must be folded neatly and stored in a bag with maximum dimensions of 120x70x40 cm.
- No Riding Allowed: Absolutely no riding, pushing, or unfolding your bike within the station or on the train.
- Your Responsibility: Passengers are responsible for the safekeeping of their bikes and must avoid any damage to the train's equipment or infrastructure.
- Safety First: Always adhere to safety regulations and maintain proper public etiquette.
Supporting a Greener City
This pilot program is part of a broader effort to encourage eco-friendly commuting options. Ho Chi Minh City currently boasts 43 public bicycle stations and plans to add another 84, strategically located in the city center.
Friendly Reminder: Keep your folded bike within the 70cm width limit (as pictured)! And please, give those tires a quick wipe to keep the metro sparkling clean!
