It requires a masterplan at central government level. My vision is that the overall transport masterplan for Vietnam should look like a wishbone or leaf: a central backbone of high speed rail from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, connecting with stations at each main city. And within these main cities, these stations should become a hub for intracity LRT/MRT/Monorail lines, with last-mile bus or tram services connecting stations to the housing areas. In essence, there should be at least a bus station within 300m of every housing area, which would enable everyone to connect to the LRT/MRT/MONORAIL to the airports & High Speed train services.
