The Ho Chi Minh City government has proposed the development of Metro Line No. 3A, running from Ben Thanh Market in District 1 to Tan Kien in Ho Chi Minh City’s outlying district of Binh Chanh, at a cost of around VND 68 trillion. The metro line will pass through eight districts and have 18 stations. It will be developed in two phases. The first phase involves the development of a 9.9 km long stretch between Ben Thanh Market and Mien Tay Coach Station. The section will mainly run underground. In the second phase, construction of the 9.7 km long section linking Mien Tay Coach Station and Tan Kien Depot will be undertaken. While the first phase of the project is expected to be implemented from 2025 to 2031, the second phase will be taken up between 2028 and 2034.
