The HCMC Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR) said this marks an important step away from the construction of infrastructure to drivers operating the system before the initial trial run.
Director of the project, and a representative of contractor Hitachi, Jason Fraser, said his company will push ahead with the installation of electrical equipment, before activating two key transformer stations in Binh Thai and Tan Cang.
