Railway transport was first introduced to Việt Nam during the 1880s. Since then, the railway system has been built and renovated many times. Nowadays, provinces in Việt Nam are connected by the 1,600 km railway route. Super Express trains, which go from the north to the south and vice versa, have been recently introduced to provide more options to passengers.
Since its early operation, the railway system in Việt Nam has offered a great number of benefits. It is well-known for:
- ability to transport large quantities of goods and passengers.
- high safety and reliability in operation and transportation.
- significant contribution to environmental protection by minimizing carbon emissions, noise, and air pollution.
- numerous picturesque locations on the way such as Sa Pa, Huế or Đà Nẵng.
- cost-effectiveness in transporting goods and passengers over long distances.
However, the railway system in Việt Nam also has some disadvantages. Below are some:
- A lack of investment in road infrastructure, equipment, and technology affects the reliability, safety, and transportation time to some extent.
- The limitations in flexibility make it difficult to change transportation routes.
- Travelling by train is slower compared to other modes of transportation.
- Rail transport is not suitable for mountainous terrains. Many provinces in mountainous regions will find it inconvenient to use this mode of transportation.
Despite these limitations, Việt Nam's railway remains an important means in the country's transportation system.
