Buses, metro lines and green mobility solutions such as electric vehicles and bicycles are increasingly becoming a civilised travel habit for residents in Hanoi, particularly amid fluctuating fuel prices. For young people today, transport is no longer merely about moving from one place to another but also about comfort and emotional experience.

Elevated metro stations with minimalist, contemporary designs have become popular “check-in” spots, while images of young commuters enjoying coffee and music as they overlook the city from train windows have become familiar on social media./.
