Viet Nam’s largest city is about to make buses free. Ho Chi Minh City, home to 14 million people, is preparing a $280 million annual plan to make all intra-city bus travel free, aiming to increase ridership by about 30% and reduce traffic and emissions. The policy builds on existing subsidies and a growing electric bus fleet.
