Vietnam Railway Company Offers Ticket Discounts to Over 20,000 Workers

Starting 3 August, the Vietnam Railway Joint Stock Company will provide a fare‑reduction programme for its staff, with discounts ranging from 30 % to 50 % depending on unit rules. The scheme targets roughly 23 700 railway employees nationwide, covering technical, infrastructure, station and train‑crew personnel.

The company, officially launched on 1 November 2024 after merging the Hanoi and Saigon railway subsidiaries, operates under the Vietnam Railways Corporation. Workers are advised to verify eligibility, required documents and applicable routes with their union or human‑resources department, as the exact terms – such as seat class, ticket type and programme end date – have not yet been published.

The discount does not extend to the general travelling public, who will continue to use standard fares and existing passenger promotions.
