Why Vietnam?
Vietnam’s largest city started construction recently of the country’s first urban railway system, a project worth nearly $1.1 billion, a system that is set to carry 526,000 people per day by 2014 along 19.7km of above and below ground rail lines in the traffic choked city of about 7 million.
With an explosive economic growth and a rapidly expanding and thriving rail market, Asia is set to become one of the fastest growth destinations for the rail sector, led by emerging markets of Vietnam, Thailand, India, and China.
Growth – in both population and affluence – is the key driving force for the development of the rail sector here. While a lot of work remains to be done and more governmental transparency required, there is significant hope and great opportunities for rail development in Asia.
