[Daily blog] Morning bus in Saigon
"How do you go to work?". All most of Vietnamese people will reply "by motor bike". As you can see in Saigon street, motor bikes appears everywhere, because of its convenience in a small route.
For me, I decided to take a bus to work because of avoiding traffic jams..."speciaty of Saigon morning" (>_<)
I take bus line 36. It depart from district 12 to Ben Thanh market. Here is a map for bus line 36:
Point 1 : Depart station at District 12
Point 2 : My home at District Go Vap
Point 3 : Nearest bus stop to Cpoint Vietnam , called "Guan Yu Pagoda" or "Chua Ong" in Vietnamese.
Point 4 : Arrival station - "23 September Park" or "Cong vien 23 thang 9" in Vietnamese.
It takes about 1 hour to go by bus if there is no BIG TRAFIC JAMS ٩(◕‿◕。)۶ and the price for one-way ticket is 6.000 VND ~ 29 JPY. We can buy also ticket wallet include 30 one-way tickets using in 1 year at bus station to save our budget.
Here is a bus line 36, the bus with a coat of green paint :
