Buses operate daily from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with a frequency of 15-20 minutes per trip. The ticket price is VND 12,000 per trip.
The pickup/drop-off points along the route are strategically located, connecting major transfer hubs such as Kim Ma Bus Station, Long Bien Transfer Point, and residential areas in Dong Anh, including Vinhomes Global Gate (Co Loa). Moreover, the bus line offers a direct connection to the Cat Linh – Ha Dong urban railway line, contributing to a green, integrated, and convenient public transport system for the city’s residents.
Route 43 also provides easy access to the upcoming National Exhibition Center, a landmark project in Hanoi.
The launch of Route 43 is a significant milestone in the implementation of the Proposal for Developing a Public Transport System Using Electric and Green Energy Buses in Hanoi, approved by the Hanoi People’s Committee in Decision No. 6004/QD-UBND on November 18, 2024. It also demonstrates the city’s commitment to completing the transition to electric and green energy buses by 2030, as outlined in Plan No. 149/KH-UBND issued by the Hanoi People’s Committee on May 28, 2025.
In just the first five months of 2025, alongside VinBus, leading public transport companies in Hanoi, such as Transerco, Neway, Bao Yen, Hanoi Electric Bus Joint Stock Company, and Vietcombank, have actively initiated the transition to electric buses.
The growing participation of transport companies underscores the accelerating trend towards the electrification of public transport, offering Hanoi’s residents a wider range of green, modern, and environmentally friendly mobility options.
