Fine short introduction of Saigon. The explanation should have mentioned the number of the attraction from the map. That would have given the last star.

Traveler Reviews
Not very professional and one of the buses was very old. They did not call out the stops and one of the drivers was very cranky!
Very tricky to find the 1st stop. Not near Dong bank but instead Liberty Hotel. Not really near the park section. More near the food court. Was good with timings of pickup but the information on speaker sometimes wasn't clear to which building it was talking about. On one of the journeys it was apparently lunch break so we went to depot..had to wait 1/2 hr before we went again...the wifi on the bus is very helpful
Apparently this is quite a new service in Ho Ci Minh. The headphone system didn’t work however they played the commentary over the speakers. Amazingly the bus was always where they were supposed to be at the scheduled time. Good way to get a feel for where things are in the city.
Great trip, good to do a round route first to get the bearings, saw some wonderful things.......
The pick up spot is difficult to find for a new traveler in the country who didn't speak the language.
Extremely nice bus and very friendly staff.

Public bus transportation in ho chi minh city.
![public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city](https://itourvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-696x522.webp)
You can choose from many types of transportation in Ho Chi Minh City to get around. With over 100 routes, the public bus is one of the cheapest vehicles to explore the city on a budget. Check out our guide below to learn how to catch the bus and some popular routes to the famous attractions of Ho Chi Minh City .
How to Catch a Bus in Ho Chi Minh City
Bus stops in ho chi minh city.
When waiting at the bus stops, you must watch for your incoming bus number and wave to signal the driver that you want to get on it. As the streets in Ho Chi Minh City are relatively narrow with many vehicles, the bus may pass any bus stop if you don’t give a signal wave from afar. It would help if you got on the bus from the front door. Some older buses may have broken doors, so you can get on from the back instead.
Paying for the bus fare
If no assistant is on board, buy the ticket from the bus assistant or the driver. You can give the money directly to them or put it in a box next to the driver and receive a ticket from them or the machine. The fare usually varies from VND 7,000 to VND 40,000 depending on the type of bus and distance. Note that they only accept Vietnamese Dong.
Getting off the bus
When the bus closes to the next arrival station, the bus assistant may or may not announce the next stop. If you are not sure, you can tell the bus assistant or driver in advance where you want to be dropped off. When the bus is about 20 meters from your stop, press the red button on top of the door or at a seat near you, or tell the driver and assistant directly because they may drive on without stopping.
Some tips for the passengers
- Catch the right bus. Check the bus number and the direction the bus is heading – towards the last stop or back to the first stop.
- You should get on and get off quickly (and carefully!) as some of the bus drivers will not wait for you.
- Watch for motorbikes driving near the bus door when stepping on and off the bus
- Beware of pickpockets and scams lurking around at bus stops, stations, and on the bus
- Make sure to check your belongings before getting off the bus.
- Pay for the bus fare in the exact amount with small changes ( VND 1,000, VND 2,000, and VND 5,000) to save time
- You might need to pay for an extra ticket if you’re carrying large items or luggage
- 7 AM – 9 AM and 5 PM – 7 PM are Ho Chi Minh’s rush hours. Most likely, the buses will get overcrowded, and you will have to stand on the bus. You might also get into a traffic jam.
- Take notes of the location of the safety hammer to break the windows in case of emergencies.
- See the bus schedule and routes on buyttphcm.com.vn or use the bus map app to find your suitable route.
Bus Stops, Bus Parking Lots, and Bus Stations in Ho Chi Minh City
How to recognize a bus stop in ho chi minh city.
![city bus tour ho chi minh public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-ham-nghi-station](https://itourvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-ham-nghi-station-1024x768.webp)
You can recognize the bus stop in Ho Chi Minh City when you see a painted zigzag yellow line on the road next to the pavement. There are some bus stops with steel benches and cover overhangs. However, some stops are only steel posts with information about the bus routes, similar to a street sign.
![city bus tour ho chi minh public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-yellow-lines](https://itourvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-yellow-lines-1024x768.webp)
Different Types of Buses in Ho Chi Minh City
You will notice three coded colors for public bus transportation in Ho Chi Minh City: yellow, green, and blue.
The yellow is for bus transport back and forth from the Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) . They are more modernized, with a capacity of 70 passengers in total (sitting and standing).
Airport bus 109 fare: VND 20,000 Airport bus 119 fare: VND 12,000 (under 5km/route) and VND 20,000 (over 5km/route) Shuttle bus 49 fare: VND 40,000 (29 passengers in total)
![city bus tour ho chi minh public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-yellow-bus](https://itourvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-yellow-bus-1024x768.webp)
The price difference between the green and blue buses is not much, ranging from VND 7,000 to VND 10,000, depending on the routes. However, they are painted with different colors because of the fuel they use. The green buses run on diesel, while the blue ones run on CNG, an environmentally friendly gas fuel. The blue buses also tend to be more significant as they can carry more capacity. However, you will see more green buses running on the streets in Ho Chi Minh City.
![city bus tour ho chi minh public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-green-bus](https://itourvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-green-bus-1024x768.webp)
There is a new bus line operated by Vingroup Corporation in Vietnam, with the number D4. The bus runs on electricity and stops at multiple locations frequented by Westerners, such as District 2 (or Thu Duc City) and Ben Thanh. Since it is a private-owned bus, the service is friendlier and the seats are more comfortable. There’s wifi on board, and you have other payment options with a Napas ATM card or e-wallets , instead of just small change.
![city bus tour ho chi minh public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city](https://itourvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-d4-electric-bus-1024x770.webp)
Some Popular Bus Stations and Routes in Ho Chi Minh City
Ben thanh and 23/9 park station.
23/9 Park (near the backpackers’ district) and Ben Thanh Station are the largest bus stations in the city’s center. Ben Thanh Station, which used to be the opposite of the Ben Thanh Market, has moved to Ham Nghi Street, also near the Ben Thanh Market, because of the ongoing underground metro project. There are four rows of big modern bus stops along the sides of the street. From here, you can catch buses connecting to many places in the city, such as Chinatown (Route 1), Tan Son Nhat Airport (Route 109, 152), and Dam Sen Park (Route 11). Check the bus routes below.
![city bus tour ho chi minh public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-ben-thanh-station](https://itourvn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/public-bus-transportation-in-ho-chi-minh-city-ben-thanh-station-1024x771.webp)
Cho Lon Station
Cho Lon Station is located at the center of Chinatown . You can use the buses to reach Dam Sen Park (Route 144), around Chinatown, and districts west of Ho Chi Minh City.
![](http://adsite.space/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Mien Dong (East) Station
You can not only go to places in Ho Chi Minh City like Ben Thanh Market, Chinatown, and Dam Sen Park with the public bus but also find buses that go to other provinces on the Southeast coast of Vietnam, Northern and Central Vietnam.

Summary of Public Bus Transportation in Ho Chi Minh City
You may find that catching a bus in Vietnam is quite a different experience from other countries. You have to hail the oncoming bus in advance and be conscious of the motorbike madness, and it might not be the most convenient form of transportation yet. However, as the Vietnamese government is investing more in solving traffic issues in major cities, you may find traveling by public bus more convenient and cheaper to travel around .

The beautiful countries of Southeast Asia tend to take hold of certain travelers' wanderlust and never let go, as each destination's wonders embody deep history and ever-evolving culture and art across an awe-inspiring landscape. Following a quick visit to Thailand with a side trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia, in 2019, I vowed to return. I finally made this dream a reality with an ambition for the epic despite being a budget traveler.
Although the region is known to be quite affordable, it is worth taking some budget notes for Cambodia . This time, I would start from Vietnam's northern capital Hanoi and slowly traverse the entire country by train and bus to its southern border with Cambodia, where I would then make my triumphant return via speedboat up the majestic Mekong River.
Ready to follow in my footsteps? Traveling by train, boat, and bus, discover the adventures on this Vietnam to Cambodia travel itinerary, which features ten unique stops that showcase these countries' culinary, cultural, historic, and natural jewels.

A Bourdain-Inspired Start In Hanoi
The sprawling northern capital of over 5 million inhabitants is best explored by eating one's way across it.
Hanoi, beloved by travelers everywhere , is a perfect crash course in all things Vietnam. Like most first-time visitors, I based myself near the wonderfully chaotic Old Quarter where aging French architecture elegantly blending with Vietnamese verdure serves as the center of the action.
As an avid follower of Anthony Bourdain, the first thing on the list was visiting Bun Cha Huong Lien , where Bourdain and US President Barack Obama shared a meal . Thus began my love of the Hanoi specialty Bun Cha , along with a gluttonous assault on the steamy food stalls lining the hive-like metropolis' cramped side streets and alleys where the vibrant sights, smells, and sounds of Vietnam sunk deep into my skin.
- Best Bun Cha for ~$1.44: No name or map listing exists; follow this pin to find my favorite Bun Cha on Vong Duc Street. A woman crouched upon the sidewalk in classic Vietnamese fashion slinging raw meat onto a tiny grill means it is the right place.
- Transport from Noi Bai airport : For ~ $1.85, bright orange bus 86 arrives in Hanoi's Old Quarter within an hour.
- Where to stay: Cheap accommodation is plentiful; staying near the southern half of Hoan Kiem Lake provided a peaceful escape from the Old Quarter's chaos.
The most budget-friendly flights I found to Hanoi were sometimes below $400 via LAX with China Airlines.
I Skipped Ha Long Bay For Mountains And Rice Fields
Lac village is home to betel-nut-chewing ethnic thais living in traditional stilt houses with bamboo floors.
Ha Long Bay is famous for many reasons , so I initially saw it as a must for a first visit to Vietnam. Aside from its high cost, I was more in the mood to take a path less traveled, so I took this bike tour to a small village near the Laotian border instead.
In no time, I found myself coasting through a green, mountainous paradise of rice paddies and water buffalo before getting an inside look at one of the stilt houses where its elderly, red-mouthed resident offered me some locally cherished betel nut .
During a free-roam hour in the village, I was abruptly roped into a karaoke party (a way of life in Vietnam) where some sang their hearts out, while the rest fervently bombarded me with tiny cups of the local rice wine and a lineup of grilled mystery meats from the table.
- Location: In the Mai Chau District , 85 miles southwest of Hanoi
- Tour from Hanoi: $40/person on Tripadvisor
- Highlights: biking past rice paddies and water buffalo, sociable locals, true cultural immersion
Peaceful Solitude At Tam Thanh Beach
Crabs, friendly pups, geckos, and playing children stand in for tourists in this tiny beach town.
Leaving Hanoi, I was in the mood for a quiet beach escape and happened to stumble upon Tam Thanh Beach , just outside the town of Tam Ky . Along the way, I somewhat regrettably skipped the historic city of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that other travelers I met raved about.
Tourists and grandiose storefronts were not seen at Tam Thanh Beach, only small pockets of locals exercising on the beach or setting off to sail for fishing. After delicious seafood from little family restaurants lining the beach, I would take magical sunset walks accompanied by a friendly pack of dogs as the blue tides swept over hordes of tiny shimmering crabs and I felt a new level of peace.
Getting here from Hanoi was a two-part journey with a stop in Da Nang , which serves as a destination on its own.
- Bus from Hanoi to Da Nang: ~13–17 hours, sleeper bus options start at $17
- Train from Da Nang to Tam Ky: ~1.5 hours, starting at $6.87/seat
- Where to stay: Tam Thanh Natural Beach Resort for ~$15/night was amazing, but availability is inconsistent. Most visitors stay at Tam Thanh Beach Resort & Spa .
Small towns like this are where having a SIM card with data for online translator use is highly valuable.

From Sleepy Sands To Towers In Tuy Hoa
This humble coastal city holds an architectural crown jewel: the nghinh phong tower.
With the only goal of continuing south, I was enticed by Tuy Hoa for having big-city amenities while seeming to maintain the low-key vibe of Tam Ky. I then hopped on a train for a gorgeous ride through Vietnam's countryside of lotus flowers, buffalo, and soaring cranes.
This town felt endearingly "normal" compared to tourist hot spots like Hanoi, aside from the unexpected, sci-fi-esque Nghinh Phong Tower that looms above on beachside walks.
- Train from Tam Ky to Tuy Hoa: ~6 hours, starting at ~$11/seat
- Where to stay: Coralina Hotel for ~$10/night (prices vary with the season)
- Highlights: Award-winning Nghinh Phong Tower , public Tuy Hoa Beach , lavish karaoke spots , and late-night eats at market stalls
A Change Of Pace In The Mountains Of Dalat
Dalat, the picturesque "honeymoon capital" for locals, was a perfect pit stop in my southern sprint.
I became eager to reach the Cambodian chapter of my trip, and bus routes to Hanoi's southern counterpart, Ho Chi Minh City, were the fastest way. Cool, mountainous Dalat was a worthy break from the road and temporary salvation from lowland humidity.
Glimpses of the fairytalelike landscape and its colorful pagodas that make it so popular brought a tinge of regret that I left so soon, but I was able to indulge in the best bowl of pho I had ever had before I was gone.
- Best pho: Quán Ph Thng -Na
- Bus from Tuy Hoa to Dalat: The 5-hour ride typically costs $11-$13
- Where to stay: awesome views from Min Nhit i 2 Hotel for $9/night (as always in Vietnam, prices can double when demand is high)
Return To City Life In Ho Chi Minh City
Also known as saigon, vietnam's most populous city of around 9.3 million offers endless exploration.
The road to Ho Chi Minh City - "the Pearl of the Far East" with tons of things to do - continued. Another 7-hour bus ride later, I was unwittingly tossed into the stampede of nightclub hoppers and fire-breathing street performers that is Bui Vien Street after not researching the neighborhood of my hotel.
Partying backpacker hubs are usually not my kind of scene, but in the end, I found it to be a charming example of when a harmonious balance of tourists and local culture prevails against over-tourism.
- Bus from Dalat to Ho Chi Minh City: Sleeper buses start as low as $15 for the 7-8 hour trip.
- Where to stay: Meraki 198 Bui Vien for $13/night
- Highlights: Historical sites of "the American War" like the Cu Chi Tunnels or War Remnants Museum
Chau Doc To Phnom Penh By Boat
This quiet port town serves as a gateway to the mekong river and indigenous cham culture.
I had little time for exploration in Chau Doc due to my mission on the mighty Mekong, but a brief view into quiet, local life in a small river town felt like enough of a treat. I would certainly encourage anyone in the area to spend time in its biodiverse forests, floating villages, and temples or visit the local Cham community .
Taking in the vast landscapes and riverside villages by boat served as a real-time highlight reel of Southeast Asia that was truly unforgettable, and I can't recommend this route enough.
- Bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Chau Doc: ~6 hours
- Where to stay: Dong Bao Hotel An Giang - $11/night
- Mekong River trip to Phnom Penh: The 5.5-hour ride includes visa processing at the border for $35, just bring a passport and cash.
A tragic history of war and genocide contrasts with the vivaciousness of Cambodia's capital city
After arriving ashore at Phnom Penh's lively riverside, I could simply walk to my hotel and then dive right into tons of restaurants, museums, markets, and the Royal Palace nearby.
As easy as it is to be whisked away by laughs and smiles in the streets, my focus was to learn more about the devastating mid-70s genocide on behalf of the Khmer Rouge, which the country is still recovering from today.
- Where to stay: RS Guesthouse for ~$10/night (price fluctuations apply here also)
- What to do: visit the Royal Palace , learn about Cambodia's tragic history at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum or Choeung Ek Genocidal Center
- What to eat: try Khmer Cuisine at David's Noodle or the renowned Russian Market
Exploring The Famed Angkor Wat In Siem Reap
Millions flock to what guinness world records lists as the world's largest religious structure (162.2 hectares).
If anyone visits Cambodia once, it is likely a foray into the world-famous Angkor Wat found in the rather small city of Siem Reap. The temple complex is just as mesmerizing in real life and truly taking it all in would require multiple visits.
Temple crawling in the scorching Cambodian sun can be very draining, so I felt lucky to always have Pub Street beckoning me over with some shade and a drink.
- Bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap: ~ 6 hours, as low as $7
- Outstanding private room w/AC deal: $11/night at Siem Reap Pub Hostel (I've stayed here three times)
- Angkor Wat passes: 1, 3, or 7-day passes from $37-$72
- Special gems: Dialogue is a sanctuary brewing some of the best coffee in Cambodia along with great food, a bar, and an overall awesome atmosphere; Kimleng Sang offers one-of-a-kind photography tours
I rented a bicycle from Butterfly Tours for $5/day to better explore Siem Reap and Angkor Wat.

Batty Bamboo Bonanza In Battambang
The voyage ends in battambang, the land of bamboo trains and bat caves.
I arrived in Cambodia's second-biggest city to immediately seek its near-defunct bamboo train operations . Darting past farmlands and flustered buffalo on rickety, wheeled bamboo platforms was an exhilarating reminder of why travel insurance exists, and I would do it every day if I could.
I took a great tour including the famous bat cave that millions of bats pour out of every day at dawn which is nestled just behind the somber Killing Caves of Phnom Sampeau . My long road from Hanoi deserved a bang of an ending, and Battambang delivered.
- Bus from Siem Reap to Battambang: 3 hours with Virak Buntham for $11
- Where to stay: as low as $7/night at Star Hotel
- Bamboo train + bat cave + Killing Cave tour: $15/person on Tripadvisor
