Bus Routes

Buses
Busses are the cheapest form of transportation but they can be slow and packed with people. There are two bus stations in Ho Chi Minh. The first, Mien Dong terminal, is in the north of the city. It services Hue, Danang and all other significant points on the road to Hanoi. The second, Mien Tay terminal, is in the southwest of the city. It services places to the south like An Long, Ca Mau, Can Tho, Ha Tien, Long Xuyen, My Tho, Rach Gia.

In addition, there is also a station in Cholon which services towns like Ben Luc, Long An, My Tho and My Thuan. There are also a number of minibuses, which are beginning to travel the more popular routes. They tend to be less comfortable but much quicker than regular buses. The minibus office at 39 Nguyen Hue Blvd is one of the most central offices. If you plan to travel by express bus, a one day advance booking is recommended.

Take note that minibuses are not a normal means of transport for daily expatriate living. For more information contact the following:
