(VOVworld) - The Hanoi Department of Transport works to reduce the number of buses on roads where construction sites are located, to ease traffic congestion during rush hours, from November 14. 

The adjustment in bus frequency and routes would affect the travelling demands of residents but lessen traffic congestion, Director of the Hanoi Urban Traffic Management and Operation Centre Nguyen Hong Hai said. The measures remain until barriers at the constructions sites are removed, he said. To ease traffic jams during year-end months, Vu Van Vien, director of the municipal Department of Transport, said that the transport sector is focusing on reviewing and repairing degraded roads and pavements.
