According to Ngo Van Dinh, General Director of Khanh Hoa Coach Station and Transport Services Joint Stock Company, after issuing the additional vehicle badge, the coach stations are responsible for counting the number of vehicles and transport busineses.

According to Nguyen Cong Hai, Director of the Southern Interprovincial Coach Station, during the peak days of the Lunar New Year, the number of vehicles departing from the station is expected to be nearly 200 vehicles/day, up by about 20% compared to normal days. The unit has requested transport businesses to develop specific transport plans on each assigned route to serve increased passengers.
