Traffic
For a visitor, traffic in Hanoi can seem crazy. There don’t seem to be many fixed rules. But somehow the traffic flows. Except in rush hour!
Motorbike Madness
Motorbikes are the main means of transportation. Accidents are not uncommon, but fortunately, people are usually not driving very fast, and the size of the bikes is limited, so most accidents are not too serious.
Busses and Bus Stops
The public bus system is actually quite good. There are many routes that cover most of the city, and some routes go quite far out of the city as well. Senior citizens can ride for free, and there are discounts for students.
Bicycles
There are still many people who travel by bicycle, either by necessity, or for exercise, or as part of a tourist group.
