University entrance examination is coming in one month. Demand for travel to examination compounds is rising. Nha Trang Railway Station and bus stations in the province have planned to increase the number of trips and prioritize ticket buyers who are candidates.

“The railways in the whole country are directed to supply enough ticket trains for candidates as we give priority to them during this time”, said Nha Trang Station Manage Nguyen Duc Manh.

The number of candidates this year, especially on Nha Trang – Ho Chi Minh City route, will rise sharply. Beside daily trains, there will be more two couples of trained, namely TN3/4 and SN3/4. In case the demand soars more, Nha Trang Railway will add more carriages or more train.

Candidates will be given 10% discount on train tickets.

In addition, the railways nationwide will give 10% discount on ticket prices for candidates and their followers. Accordingly, with an exam notice, candidates can get two discounted tickets, one for themselves and another for their followers. Tickets may be one-way or return. With a notice of admission, candidates only can buy two one-way tickets. To buy discounted tickets, candidates have to show their certificate identification card or student card and examination notice or admission notice. The discount program will last till December 31.

Bus stations in the province also facilitate candidates. “The number of passengers during the time of university entrance examinations surely will increase deeply, especially on Nha Trang – Ho Chi Minh City route and Nha Trang – Da Nang route. Therefore, travel firms will add more buses”, said Nguyen Cong Hai, head of Southern Nha Trang Bus Station. Additionally, there will always an inspection to prevent scramble for passengers and increase in ticket price at the station.

In both train and bus stations in that time, there will be volunteer force to welcome and guide candidates.
