Buses in Hanoi

Buses are one of the main types of public transport in Hanoi, beside Hanoi Metro, operated by the state-owned Transerco and several private companies serving the city centre and towns in greater Hanoi as well as connecting Hanoi with neighbouring provinces. Buses in Hanoi are easily recognisable with their red and yellow paint scheme. Some buses are also painted green, blue and orange. The earliest bus service begins at 4:30 a.m. while the latest bus departure across the network is at 10:30 p.m. Service may be extended to 11:30 p.m. on weekends on select routes. Most Hanoi buses are equipped with an audio system to announce the stops. LED panels at some bus stops display live route information.
