Public Transport

Ho Chi Minh City boasts an efficient public transit bus network with 150 green routes spanning the city, making it a cheaper and safer option than many alternatives. The ticket is bought from the fare collector on the bus. For shorter trips, however, ride-sharing apps, such as Grab, or cabs may prove to be more convenient and inexpensive.

Taxi

Taxis are the most comfortable way of getting around affordably. It’s easy and safe to catch one off the side of the road, but do make sure the meters work properly and enquire as to the estimated total. Ride-sharing apps like Grab are also in use; in Vietnam, you can choose between Grab for scooters or cars (helmets are provided for the former).
