The Government has ordered ministries, agencies and localities to strengthen transport services, strictly control fares and ensure traffic safety during the Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day and the April 30–May 1 holiday.
A directive, issued on April 15, 2026, warns of a sharp rise in travel demand during the holiday period, putting pressure on transport systems and increasing the risk of congestion and accidents. Volatile fuel prices are also expected to impact transport operations.
Authorities are required to ensure sufficient transport capacity, particularly for passenger services at railway stations, airports, bus terminals and seaports, and to prevent service cuts that could leave travellers stranded. Strict measures will be taken against overcharging and unfair pricing practices during peak travel periods.
The Ministry of Public Security has been tasked with intensifying patrols and enforcing traffic laws, focusing on violations that commonly lead to accidents, while preventing illegal street racing and public disorder.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Construction will oversee transport operations, requiring operators to increase capacity in line with demand and manage costs amid fuel price fluctuations.
Relevant agencies are also instructed to enhance inspections of transport businesses, enforce fare transparency, and penalise unjustified price hikes.
