The price of small eel seed alone has reached $35,000/kg in January 2018 (about more than VND800 million/kg) – as expensive as gold at the same time. Not only that, the price of eel increases 2 or 3 times every year. In the previous article, we found out why Japanese eel is so expensive (See ). This article will delve into the cooking method of Japanese grilled eel (Kabayaki) – one of the reasons why the value of eel is greatly increased. Grilling eel seems to be an easy job, but for Japanese chefs, it takes years of practice. First, the fresh eels will be put on the cutting board by the chef, who will pin the eel’s head in place with a removable metal pin. Eel pecking is a skill that takes 8 years to learn. Photo: Tofugu Then the eel will be dissected in the Kansai style (cut open the belly but not cut off the head, leave the slices and then grilled) or the Kanto style (cut open the abdomen but cut the head, divide it into small pieces, and then put it back together to bake). The backbone of the eel will also be removed in this step, just learning to peck the eel in these two styles alone will take up to 8 years of apprenticeship! Next is to thread the eel before it is grilled (it takes another 3 years to learn), the cook will have to use metal sharp sticks to pierce the very thin slices of eel meat. This requires dexterity and finesse of the hands. Eel threading is also a skill that takes up to 3 years of apprenticeship. Photo: The Japan Times Finally, bring the eel to the grill, according to long-time chefs, after 11 years of learning to cut the eel and string it together before grilling, it will take… a lifetime to master the skill. this. The griller will have to grill the soft, golden and shiny pieces of eel with the crispy texture that has made the name and attraction in the cuisine of the Kansai region (Osaka) – Japan. To do this, the cook will spread the eel pieces with a little mirin (a rice wine similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content and higher sugar content). When the grilled eels are done, they are dipped in tare sauce. Grilling eel is a skill that takes a lifetime to perfect. Photo: WAttention.com This is a sweet apple-flavored barbecue sauce, used to marinate grilled dishes, make a dipping sauce or stir-fry vegetables, noodles… Tare sauce will be infused with sweetness inside the eel through grilling the eel once. short time again. Finally, the grilled eel is done, the chef will cut them into small slices to put on the rice with some seaweed, Japanese people often eat eel rice during the day to provide more energy and strength. for the rest of the year.

Nowadays, when you mention HiSilicon, everyone will think of Kirin chips. However, in addition to Kirin chips for smart devices, HiSilicon also has Kunpeng series service CPUs for data centers; AI chipsets for artificial intelligence, Ascend series Soc ; Used to connect chips such as Barong baseband chips; other dedicated chips (security, Internet of Things, etc.). HiSilicon, which has always been unknown, turned from the “spare tire” to the right at the juncture of Huawei’s huge survival crisis.

Relying on the escort of HiSilicon Kirin chip all the way, Huawei slowly gains a foothold in the mobile phone field and gains a foothold in the high-end with self-developed chips. Today, there is no TSMC’s production capacity to support smartphone processor shipments that have dropped by 88% compared to the same period last year. Although the most expensive in the 21st century is talent, the salary costs and various expenditures of 7,000 engineers are still a huge burden for Huawei. Faced with various doubts in the industry, Chen Lifang, director of Huawei, once again stated that HiSilicon continues to develop world-leading semiconductor components, and HiSilicon will not make any reorganization or layoff decisions.

Give up the fantasy to make chips! Huawei HiSilicon is “forced to operate”, and these 7,000 people “cannot be less than one”! Despite the sanctions, Huawei HiSilicon will promote more product upgrades. On the other hand, it will accelerate the “de-beautification” process. This will promote the emergence of Huawei’s new supply chain partners. The rebirth of Huawei’s chips will be in the near future. arrival.

Not long ago, industry chain news said: In order to compete for the initiative in chip manufacturing, HiSilicon is developing 3nm process chips. Even if Huawei loses TSMC in the field of chip foundry, this does not affect HiSilicon’s advanced manufacturing process. There are not a few manufacturers that can “burn money” in the chip field. Perhaps Huawei should pay more attention to employee movements to prevent HiSilicon’s talent loss. What do you think of this?

Wave of closures expected in Europe Thousands of bank branches before the end

As of: June 8th, 2021 8:58 am

For many European private banks, running a tightly knit network of branches is no longer worthwhile. According to a new study, almost half of the stores will close in the coming years. A study by the business consultancy PwC predicts a wave of branch closings by European banks. According to this, up to 40 percent of the branches could be on the verge of closure by 2023. This means that drastic cuts are imminent for employees and customers of the branches. Study author Andreas Pratz and his colleagues looked at around 50 private customer banks and banking groups with a total of 690 million customers as well as estimated private customer deposits and loan volumes of 18 trillion euros. Banks from 15 countries in Europe and, for comparison purposes, also in North America and Australia were included.

Too little income from the branches

The main reason for the expected closure measures is the poor profitability of the branches for the banks. According to the study, the average profit per customer in the past year 2020 dropped again by eight percent to 193 euros. There is also less and less business being done in the branches. For example, fewer and fewer bank customers are making international transactions, and the demand for consumer credit has also continued to decline. The income per customer is below average in branches in Germany, it is 172 euros. In contrast, a customer in Switzerland brought an average profit of 444 euros, in Austria slightly above average 208 euros. In Italy and Spain, too, the yields are significantly higher than in Germany. According to the study author Pratz, higher bank fees are charged there or salary accounts are better linked to other bank offers such as construction financing. According to Pratz, there are also major differences in Germany. The “associations”, ie the Volksbanks and the savings banks, achieved better earnings than the branches of private commercial banks.

Cancellation programs launched

Only a quarter of European commercial banks managed to increase their sales in the past year. This increases the cost pressure considerably and directs the bank managers’ attention to their own branch networks. Many of the big banks have already launched job cancellation programs in recent months and in some cases tightened them again, including Deutsche Bank and the French Société Générale. Commerzbank and Postbank had also announced drastic branch closings in the past few weeks. The study assumes that bank branches in Europe will shrink from just under 60,000 to just 36,000 in 2023. More and more new sales channels are taking the place of the branches: “Instead of luring as many customers as possible into the branches through the best locations, customer contacts will in future be gained through targeted online marketing”, according to the author of the study, Pratz.

Artwork / internet Pressure and gear shift dynamics Vietnam has been accelerating the process of national digital transformation with the dual goal of developing digital government, digital economy, digital society and forming Vietnamese digital technology enterprises. go global. In which, the education sector is one of the eight priority areas for implementation. In order to adapt and integrate with the 4.0 Technology Revolution, the Education sector in recent years has promoted the application of information technology in teaching, learning and management. Especially, with the impact and unpredictable developments of the Covid -19 pandemic, the rapid implementation of digital transformation in the education sector has become more and more necessary and urgent. The motto “pause to school, do not stop learning” is both pressure and motivation for educational institutions, teachers, students and parents to apply science and technology to maintain the quality of teaching. – learning and governance for students, encouraging students to maintain a continuum of learning. At the same time, ensuring safety, security, and connecting school – parents in the epidemic context still has complicated developments; promote efficient and sustainable operation of educational institutions. This is also an opportunity for educational institutions to apply digital transformation in managing and operating a smart-oriented school. In fact, in the modern educational environment, educational institutions are facing many challenges and facing difficulties in finding a comprehensive digital transformation solution. Now, the need is no longer a single technology solution to perform a certain school activity such as an online teaching and learning solution; a financial management software; a human resource management or data management software of the school … The reality requires that a technology platform, a comprehensive, comprehensive solution, integrating multiple features and suitable for the operating status of the Vietnamese education industry, helps to limit the waste of resources ( finance, human resources, time …) and increase efficiency, productivity. Need a comprehensive solution Dr. Le Anh Son, Deputy Director of the Phenikaa Institute of Research and Technology, University of Phenikaa, said: A term that is being mentioned a lot recently is Edtech, a combination of “education” (education) and “Technology” (technology). Edtech covers all different aspects of education from teaching and learning, educational management, educational communication … which are presented in three main forms: Application of technology in the classroom (facilities classes, tools, teaching materials); applying technology in teaching methods; apply technology in governance. The impact of the Covid -19 epidemic promotes the implementation of online teaching in educational institutions. Many places already know and use free platforms such as Google (with Google Classroom), Microsoft (with Microsoft Teams), Facebook (with Facebook Workplace), Skype, Zoom … However, these software just stop at the level of creating a means of communication and interaction between teachers and students, not yet creating a simultaneous connection with parents – teachers and educational administrators to Improve the ability to administer, support and supervise students. In fact, not many educational institutions have a comprehensive Edtech solution. That said, the Vietnamese digital technology market still has plenty of room to exploit. According to Dr. Le Anh Son, currently a member of Phenikaa Group has deployed the application of the smart school PHX Smart School, integrating two forms of technology application in the classroom and the application of technology in management into one. communication. The highlight of this solution is an intelligent integrated information system; integrating software to support training processes, helping schools to deploy online teaching and learning activities, and sharing convenient video lessons to support more effective learning; integrated online exam system. PHX Smart School also integrates smart route monitoring system, accurate face attendance … automatically connects, updates information quickly to families on student’s status when arriving at school. Actively measure body temperature, monitor the body temperature of objects entering and leaving the campus to ensure the school’s epidemic prevention.

There will always be an automated system that helps businesses chase and maintain interaction with customers. Everything is set up to operate completely automatically, which is difficult to do with traditional marketing paradigms. Simulate human behavior Ignoring the human factor in customer communication is what automated marketing tools like chatbots can do. It is no longer a rigid tool, responding to customers based on what humans have pre-configured as before, but has the ability to analyze and predict factors that sometimes make it difficult for users to recognize I’m communicating with an automated tool. Moreover, these “artificial people” help optimize a lot in terms of cost. When using the business itself, it will not need to worry about the working regime, salary and bonus. They only need to invest once and can still have for themselves absolutely loyal employees.

Photo: MRB Le Trung Hieu, Deputy Head of the Hanoi Urban Railway Project Management Board, said that the TBM apparatus is designed specifically for the project of urban railway No.3, section Nhon – Hanoi station. The machine is manufactured by Herrenkecht (Germany), has a length of more than 90 meters, weighs about 850 tons, enough to accommodate machine equipment and operating workers. The peach shield with a prominent red and yellow flag pattern, has a diameter of 6.58m, weighs 65 tons, including main parts such as cutting heads, rake blades, tilling tools and bucket teeth, etc. with geology of Hanoi.
Currently, 2 tunneling machines have completed the test and commissioning. Auxiliary works such as installation of air compressor station, water supply station, mortar mixing station, ventilation will be completed in the end of April.
In order to officially put into operation, the Hanoi Urban Railway Management Board has cooperated closely with the consultant, contractors and related parties to ensure the quality of tunneling machines and related work. assessment before construction.
Firstly, the TBM duo must be confirmed from the concerned parties that they have met the performance requirements including: Completed and complete installation; Integration with support systems is appropriate; Qualified critical process parameters; The functions of components and control systems work normally and are in accordance with requirements.
Through the pre-acceptance test at the site (SAT), the TBM machine has been checked the operation, parameters and measurement of the main components, including the equipment: digging shield, control room, material chamber , Conveyor, conveyor, drilling equipment, main drive, tunnel mounting kit, hydraulic system, lubrication system, plumbing system, gas system, safety system, electrical system, systems support system.

Second, special attention is paid to monitoring before, during and after construction. The Contractor has analyzed the affected area when designing to conduct a “buidings condition survey” (BCS) survey for all houses in the affected area. From the condom results, the Contractor has risk assessment analysis (BRA-buildings risk assesstment report) for buildings during construction. Photo: MRB Based on the BRA report, the contractor designs and installs monitoring equipment for buildings and ground, including: Monitoring settlement, inclination, fissure (if any), groundwater level … This will be installed prior to construction and will be monitored during construction for abnormal warning (if any).
In case of abnormal monitoring, the contractor will analyze the cause, assess the level of danger … and based on that result to have a plan for the construction to continue or stop to handle the problem. subject. This is a strict, closed process to ensure the most safety for the above and adjacent buildings.
Compared with conventional tunneling methods, TBM drilling method is said to minimize the impact of traffic, occupy less area or affect surrounding constructions. Because soil can be collected and transported after excavation, this method causes less dust, vibration and noise compared to other tunneling methods. This construction method is environmentally friendly. TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) works on the principle of soil pressure balance. Behind the digging shield is arranged a closed partition. The soil from the excavated shield will fall into the space and create a pressure balance between the excavated soil and the unearthed soil, making the digging mirror stable and not landslides. The soil pressure in the balance chamber is monitored by sensors placed directly in it. After a short 1.5m excavation, the tunnel cover (which is assembled reinforced concrete slabs) is immediately constructed. Where the drill goes, the cover of the tunnel is assembled there to avoid landslide of the soil and rock above. According to the design, in ideal conditions, each day the machine will dig about 10m tunnels.
When put into operation, the TBM duo will start drilling from S9 station to S12 station – Hanoi station at the end of Tran Hung Dao street with a total length of 4km.

Recently, the Waterway Management Center in coordination with Saigon Traffic Construction Joint Stock Company has operated new technology equipment in the collection of rubbish on the Vam Thuat River, at Ben Phan Bridge (Go Vap District, City). .HCM).

As noted by PV, there are three devices in operation to pick up trash, mainly water hyacinth and floating garbage. A device like a large barge has a garbage storage compartment and a pick-up crane. On both sides of the conveyor belt are fitted with two garbage collection wings, which help to put the garbage on the deck. In addition, the small garbage pick-up machine is operated by one person, moving the garbage and bringing it to the barge.

According to PV’s observations in just a few working hours tons of water hyacinths are collected ashore.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai, Head of Maintenance Management Division, Waterway Management Center, said that for many years, garbage collection has contributed to reducing the amount of rubbish on the above rivers, gradually improving the regional environment. However, the garbage collection is still rudimentary, using a lot of manual labor, and the efficiency and productivity are not high.

Therefore, the unit has piloted operation of new technology equipment imported from the US. With this new technology, workers do not have to salvage manually but completely control by machine, collecting every two days, the capacity to pick up about 25 to 30 tons within 8 hours.

“This device will save manpower, time and collect large volumes, thereby increasing the economic efficiency of the city. Besides, it will also create a better image on the river compared to traditional garbage collection.” – Mr. Hai said.

Regarding the current difficulties, Mr. Hai added that in addition to floating rubbish and water hyacinths, there are large-sized rubbish such as blankets, mattresses, tables and chairs, making it difficult to collect trash. In addition, the river bank is not straight and flat, so the access of the machine is also difficult.

Mr. Hai added that the garbage collection system consists of five devices, of which two are imported from the US and three are researched and manufactured by a team of Vietnamese engineers. After the pilot period, the Department of Transport will report to the City People’s Committee replicated in the area. At the same time, the unit is also building a unit price that is suitable for management in the future.

Pilot garbage collection with new technology

Previously, on October 9, 2020, the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City held a pilot meeting to collect and collect rubbish on the Vam Thuat – Ben Cat river using modern equipment with new technology.

This equipment is proposed by Saigon Transport Construction Joint Stock Company to use in the spirit of the “Ho Chi Minh City people do not litter the streets and canals because the city is clean and less flooded”.

Currently, 2 tunneling machines have completed the test and commissioning. Auxiliary works such as installation of air compressor station, water supply station, mortar mixing station, ventilation will be completed in the end of April.

In order to officially put into operation, the Hanoi Urban Railway Management Board has cooperated closely with the consultant, contractors and related parties to ensure the quality of tunneling machines and related work. assessment before construction.

It is known that, compared to conventional tunneling methods, TBM drilling method is said to minimize the impact of traffic, occupy less area or affect surrounding constructions. Because soil can be collected and transported after excavation, this method causes less dust, vibration and noise compared to other tunneling methods. This construction method is environmentally friendly.

In early March, District 6 People’s Committee put into use the first automatic ATM receiving and returning documents in Vietnam.

Over a month, people have become familiar and proficient in using this technology in submitting and receiving administrative documents.

Mr. Nguyen Kim Tu is submitting and receiving appointment cards at ATMs in District 6

Mr. Nguyen Kim Tu (living in Ward 11, District 6) said that putting into use the receiving machine and returning the documents is very quick, saving time. Without this ATM, people go to the District People’s Committee to pick up the number and wait to call the name. Submit missing documents, officers request this or that, supplement and complete.

“If the staff is enthusiastic, they give instructions once, but if they are not enthusiastic, the people will travel many times. Now, with administrative ATMs, people come to file at any time, even outside office hours. Components of the machine profile are also fully instructed, not bothering to go back many times as before, ”Mr. Tu shared.

Nhu Thi Bich Thu just submitted her application and received an appointment to return the file from an ATM, said that the operation on the machine is simple, surprisingly fast. It only takes about 4-5 minutes from the time you enter the application machine to receive the appointment slip from the printer.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Thu is filing on an administrative ATM in District 6

“Before, I had to submit my application on time, now morning, noon and evening I can submit my application and the result is always available. Doing this is too convenient for people … ”, said Ms. Thu.

Sharing about administrative ATMs, Vice Chairman of District 6 People’s Committee Vuong Thanh Lieu, information, the model only operates simple procedures for people to easily follow such as submitting business household registration documents, granting re-certificate of business household registration, re-issue of construction permit.

Vice Chairman of District 6 People’s Committee Vuong Thanh Lieu

Or return 8 documents for level 3 administrative procedures without charge, which is the procedure to terminate business activities, grant permits to dig pavement roads, grant permits for temporary use of sidewalks, and appraise existing drawings. housing status …

Currently the number of administrative procedures to be handled in District 6 is up to 176 types of procedures, ATMs can not convey all. Therefore, District 6 will continue to monitor and handle defects as well as gradually improve this ATM to better serve the people. District 6 will also deploy synchronously to the whole district, after the first preliminary and evaluation phase.

Documentation does not need paper and pen

More than 5km from the location of the ATM records of District 6 is District 1 People’s Committee, which has just launched the service of “electronic customer identification” to support people and businesses to register paperless administrative procedures.

This is an application model of digitizing public administrative services by applying AI artificial intelligence, with facial recognition solution. When applying for online administrative procedures, people only need to take a two-sided photo of the identity card, send it to the system, they will be automatically identified, filled in the available form, with accuracy up to 99%. .

After experiencing the service, Mr. Pham Bich Tiu – a resident of District 1 said that the system is very modern and convenient, helping people reduce time to carry out paper and pen procedures as before.

Mr. Pham Bich Tiu is operating on the electronic customer identifier system of District 1 People’s Committee

Up to now, District 1 has organized the reception of registration for “paperless” administrative procedures in 6 fields, deployed online public services synchronously on 44 district-level administrative procedures, 25 administrative procedures at data communication with the city data communication axis.

“As a result, the rate of people participating in using online public services at level 3 and 4 has changed dramatically and by 2020 it will reach 99.99%”, District Chairman Nguyen Van Dung informed.

With this model, the goal of District 1 is to reduce the direct interaction between the contingent of cadres and civil servants with the people and businesses, but the processing of the procedure is faster and more accurate.

District 1 residents come to submit documents on the electronic customer identification system at the District People’s Committee

For people, once using the above service, the information will be kept, serving the registration of administrative procedures in the following times.

Ms. Vo Thi Trung Trinh, Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications (TT&TT) of Ho Chi Minh City, commented that the administrative ATM model in District 6 and the electronic customer identification model is an effort to change the supply process. products, better serving people and businesses (DN) with the support of technology.

The introduction of the above models helps the government have an additional channel to settle administrative procedures between the people and the government. Thereby, implementing online public administrative services, reducing waiting time of people and businesses, contributing to increase labor productivity. Initiatives to deal with administrative procedures of departments, branches, districts can be replicated in localities.

“At the district level, district, departmental level, the above models are an alternative to providing public products and services, better serving people and businesses. But at the city level, promoting digital transformation will replace an institution and policy, then people and businesses must also advocate for that change ”, Ms. Trinh said.

Direction of digital transformation towards growth goals

With the digital transformation process, Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Chairman Nguyen Thanh Phong said that the city has set a target by 2025, the digital economic ratio will account for 20% – 25% of the city’s GRDP.

Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Chairman Nguyen Thanh Phong discussed with the press about the digital transformation program of Ho Chi Minh City

“The inclusion of the digital transformation program in the City Party Congress Document shows the city’s strong determination in implementing digital transformation. This is an inevitable global trend, if not implemented, it will lag behind ”, Mr. Phong shared.

According to the head of the city government, after the Prime Minister approved the National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030, Ho Chi Minh City announced its digital transformation program and integrated platform, share data of the city.

“Thus, Ho Chi Minh City is the first locality in the country to announce a digital transformation program”, Mr. Phong affirmed.

With the goal of digital transformation by 2030, the city will become a smart city with fundamental innovation, comprehensive operation of the digital government apparatus, of digital enterprises and the prosperity and civilization of a digital society.

“Ho Chi Minh City is always aware that, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, having comprehensive impacts on all aspects of socio-economic life, digital transformation is an opportunity to turn risks into risks. Therefore, it is required that the city must make more efforts to make the digital transformation program an important factor in the implementation of dual goals, ”said Phong.

Thu Duc City, which will pioneer the construction of smart cities, accelerate the digital transformation of Ho Chi Minh City

“Recently, Thu Duc City was established on the foundation of building a highly interactive creative area in the East of the city. This is the pioneer model to build a smart city of the city, moving towards promoting faster digital transformation, contributing to the goal until 2025, digital transformation contributes 25% of the city’s GRDP ”, Mr. Phong affirmed.

In 2021, HCMC determines that the key tasks are to build Ho Chi Minh City into a smart city in the 2017-2020 period, with a vision to 2025; implementing the telecom infrastructure development project and the digital infrastructure development plan for the period 2020 – 2030; implementing the program of Digital Transformation in 2021; implementing the plan to apply information technology to State agencies’ operations, developing digital government and ensuring network information security by 2021; implementing the program “Research and application development of artificial intelligence in the period 2020 – 2030”.

Vietnam will join the group of 30 leading countries in e-Government, No. One Government, a great direction for the Government’s, ministries, branches and localities’ activities in the next 5 years is to declare and realize the Strategy. develop e-Government towards the digital Government in the period 2021 – 2025, with an orientation to 2030. This strategy has been completed by the Ministry of Information and Communications and submitted to the Prime Minister.

According to the draft Strategy, vision to 2030, Vietnam has high development index of e-Government and digital government in the world, in the group of 30 leading countries according to the ranking of the United Nations. Digital government transforms the way that people, businesses and people are served, businesses participate more in the activities of state agencies to create value, benefits, satisfaction, trust and co. social advantage.

Digital government transforms the organization, operation, working environment and working tools so that cadres, civil servants and public employees can best perform their tasks. The Digital Government Development Strategy identifies 5 main target groups: Providing quality services to society; Mobilize widely the participation of society; Optimal operation of state agencies; Solving major problems in socio-economic development; and a dramatic change in national rankings. In terms of rankings, the target set by 2025 is that Vietnam is among the top 50 countries in the overall index, the electronic participation index as well as the open data index.

-PV: BRT bus route 01 Kim Ma bus station – Yen Nghia bus station has been operating for 5 years, what is your assessment?

– Mr. Khuat Viet Hung: Up to now, I still maintain the same opinion as when the first day of operation of this “BRT bus” line was that the service on this route could not meet the basic criteria of BRT service (Passenger transport system public bus-based mass public) that must have an absolute private lane, a hard separation, roughly fenced, not creating an opportunity for other vehicles to trespass, assign different levels or priority of credit. signal at the level intersection (when the BRT bus arrives, the traffic light turns green automatically);

The stop is closed and must have convenient and safe access for passengers; connecting infrastructure and ride diagrams with regular bus routes (with the function of gathering passengers), such as taxis, motorbike taxi; Major stops also include private parking. These infrastructure requirements are not yet available in Hanoi’s “BRT No. 1” line.

Mr. Khuat Viet Hung, Vice Chairman in charge of the National Traffic Safety Committee

More importantly, the system capacity itself is too weak, the bus can accommodate 90 seats like regular buses, the peak frequency is 5 minutes / trip, while if you have reserved a separate lane, the peak hour frequency must be 1-2 minutes / trip, ensuring the service capacity from 3,000-4,500 passengers / hour / direction, confirming the higher efficiency of using the road than conventional buses and private vehicles.

Thus, the current frequency and service capacity of the current “BRT 01” line is still very far from being able to meet the requirements of a true BRT line, not to be called public passenger transport with large volume.

Thus, if compared with the above criteria, the service operating on the current “BRT 01” route in Hanoi is actually only at the level of one bus route running on a partially dedicated lane (because it is still frequent). shared by private vehicles).

-Many experts, public opinion said that “BRT 01 line is a failed test”, what is your opinion?

– When judging as success or failure, it is necessary to evaluate carefully, explicitly and fairly. If assessing the current service, it is advisable to consider only the effectiveness of a bus service with a partial priority of road use, so that the conclusions of success or failure are true and from there it can be pointed out. the real cause of the problem.

In my opinion, the first reason is the slow pace, the investment is too slow, this BRT line should have been put into operation since about 2004-2005, when there was a demand for travel, urban structure along. the route (planned to be the Nguyen Trai – Tay Son route) was suitable for a BRT line.

The current BRT bus route in Hanoi is not exactly the nature of BRT bus

However, it was not until 2017 that the service was opened and the route was adjusted to Giang Vo – Le Van Luong – To Huu. With urban density, the need to travel along the corridor in 2017 is very different, even requiring us to have urban railway.

This is a pity, if the investment was completed early in the years 2004-2005, up to now, BRT has fulfilled its mission to transition to a form of mass transit rather than road. overhead iron, urban railway. This is also a valuable lesson in transport and urban planning and implementation.

12 years behind schedule, service delivery capacity is too weak, far from meeting BRT’s basic criteria. If we had reserved a separate lane for the BRT bus, we had to provide a worthy service capacity, exploiting the full traffic capacity of the lane. At the same time, to attract passengers and create a market for the BRT, it is necessary to create favorable travel connections for passengers, keeping the right of priority for the bus when operating in the lane, when crossing intersections. …

As for now, shared infrastructure (private vehicles often violate), although there are separate lanes, types of private vehicles, other vehicles massively occupy the BRT lane, but are rarely fined, causing BRT buses ” crawling “after other types of personal vehicles during rush hour.

Besides, the station is difficult to access, the sidewalk to connect from a regular bus stop to the BRT station is encroached upon … It can be said that “BRT line 01” is like an athlete who is tied and loved. the bridge competes in the top professional competition and when he fails to win a medal, he risks being disciplined.

– So, in your opinion, how must the Hanoi transport industry deal with this BRT 01 bus route?

– It is necessary to conduct the 5-year preliminary review, point out what is the problem, must be the people who really understand, need experts who really know, enthusiastic to evaluate.

We have to accept the fact that services now need to be complete to be able to meet BRT’s criteria. Therefore, I personally would like to have a comprehensive, fair assessment, so that the service on the line is truly a BRT bus service, after 1 year, we look back and can conclude that the BRT on that line. success, or failure, as at present, the conclusion is not satisfactory.

In particular, it is necessary to clearly define “whether to prioritize the use of infrastructure for public passenger transport”, and “what is the priority, what are the priority levels”, “Type and capacity of the service is worthy of priority”.

If it is confirmed that a BRT service complete with the above mentioned criteria can help reduce traffic congestion on the route, then improve it so that it becomes complete. But if we leave it as it is now, in the psychology of the people, the functional forces and experts alike, BRT buses cause more congestion than basis.

We keep saying priority is given to public passenger transport, but the practice is very modest.

Therefore, the people, the pressing public opinion is right, because the people have not seen a true type of public transport as expected, it is the real BRT service, great service capacity, good quality, punctuality, no “crawling turtles” follow private vehicles. When public transport is given priority, whoever uses public transport will have priority, while those using private vehicles will not have priority.

-The public also said that this BRT bus route is too expensive to invest, what is your comment?

– Hanoi BRT 01 line has a total investment of about 50 million USD, this bus is expensive because we have to import all, from consultants, design, to the smallest ones to have a model. Initial picture, sometimes that is the lesson.

For now, I believe, if Hanoi wants to deploy the next BRT lines it will definitely be much cheaper. The Vietnamese have the capacity to plan, manage, design and deliver a complete BRT service at a much lower cost.

– According to the plan, Hanoi has 8 BRT fast bus routes, so how do you think it should be effectively deployed in the future?

The first thing is to turn the current BRT 01 route into a BRT fast bus as its name suggests, and then confirm whether the BRT is suitable for developing and effectively serving the travel needs of Hanoi people or not. after that, this network expansion will be considered.

Moreover, since the proposed BRT network has been put into the planning for more than a decade, there has been a huge difference in travel demand, and urban development status along the corridor has also changed. very large, even much different from the approved urban planning.

Therefore, before deciding to stop or continue with the Hanoi BRT, we need to reevaluate current practice, analyze and forecast more comprehensively to update the capital planning until 2030 and with a vision to 2050 under study and construction.
