- Population size: Projected total population by 2030: 9.1 - 9.3 million people, projected total population by 2050: 10.5 - 10.7 million people.

c) Planning subjects: The system of bus terminals, parking lots, logistics centers, and rest stops in Hanoi City.

2. Planning principles:

...

...

...

- Develop a synchronous, sustainable, modern, accessible, convenient, and environmentally friendly network of bus terminals, parking lots, logistics centers, and rest stops to meet the travel needs of residents.

- Ensure a scientific, rational, and feasible approach that meets current and long-term requirements.  Minimize the impact on urban areas, the old quarter, residential areas, and historical sites.

- Develop towards an intelligent transportation system; in accordance with planning, and ensure close connectivity and consistency with the Capital Region's transportation system. Utilize the results of surveys, investigations, and data collection from approved planning projects.

3. Planning objectives:

a) General objectives:

- Elaborate the planning directions for the system of bus terminals, parking lots, logistics centers, and rest stops within the framework of existing plannings: General planning for construction of Hanoi Capital; Hanoi capital transportation planning to 2030 and vision to 2050; urban zoning plans of Hanoi City, general planning of districts, towns within Hanoi City approved by the competent authorities. Clearly define the scale, location, nature, and construction form of each planned subject.

- Plan the system of bus terminals, parking lots, logistics centers, and rest stops to meet the following criteria:  Sustainability, Integration, and Modernity.

- Establish an investment plan or roadmap for developing a network of bus terminals, parking lots, logistics centers, and rest stops within the Hanoi city by stages in line with the Hanoi city's socioeconomic development strategy, cater to the growing demand for transportation, stopping and parking, alleviate traffic congestion, enhance road safety, and promote sustainable and synchronized urban development with transportation infrastructure.

b) Specific objectives:

...

...

...

- Parking lots: Identify specific areas and establish guidelines and principles for each area to serve as a basis for determining the specific location, scale, nature, and form of each parking lot according to the specific characteristics of each area. Determine the demand and principles for the arrangement of bus and truck parking lots based on the classification of transportation modes. Define the location, scale, and form of park and ride (P&R) to reduce the number of vehicles entering the inner city, avoid traffic congestion, and determine parking standards for each type of investment construction project in the Hanoi city.

- The approved planning results will serve as the basis for the implementation of investment projects for the construction and development of bus terminals, parking lots, rest stops, and logistics centers in the Hanoi city; encourage private sector involvement in this field in the coming period; provide the basis for the execution of high-tech terminals and parking lot projects (integrated with smart transportation).

4. Planning content:

a) General principles:

- Adhere to and elaborate the directions of the General planning for construction of Hanoi Capital, Hanoi capital transportation planning approved by the Prime Minister, general planning projects for satellite districts, towns, urban zoning plans approved by the People’s Committee of Hanoi City in terms of location and scale.

- Interprovincial bus terminals and truck terminals should be located on radial routes at the intersections with Ring Road 4, from the East, West, South, and North.  Newly constructed interprovincial bus terminals should be combined with the termini of the public bus system and close to the stations of urban railway lines to connect and transport passengers to and from the inner city.  Gradually replace existing interprovincial bus terminals located deep within the inner city.

- Logistics centers should be located near large-scale trading and exchange centers, close to transportation hubs, and facilitate transportation connections and transit between road, rail, waterway and air freight transport modes.

- Public parking lots should be concentrated in residential areas and concentrated functional areas with high density, ensuring a reasonable walking distance of 300m to 600m and convenient transportation connections.

- For bus terminals and parking lots with approved detailed plans, site plans, or investment projects, construction thereof should proceed in accordance with the aforementioned plans or projects. The location, scale, land area, and capacity of new bus terminals, parking lots (centralized public and located within buildings), and logistics centers will be officially determined during the process of preparing detailed plans at a scale of 1/500 and investment construction projects for submission to the competent authority for approval.
