New railway to link Can Tho, HCM City

[vttnguyen]

The Ministry of Transport has assigned the Viet Nam Railway Bureau to implement a US$4 billion railroad project connecting HCM City to the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho. Nguyen Bui Nam, head of the bureau’s Planning and Investment Department, said the railroad was designed by the Transport Engineering Design Joint-Stoct Incorporated South (TEDI South) with assistance from South Korea’s ChungSuk consultanting firm. A feasibility study is being carried out to choose the best of three options to build the railroad in the earliest possible time. The route, estimated to be around 150km in length, will start at either Thu Thiem or Hoa Hung railway stations in HCM City and end in one of the three following districts in Can Tho City : Cai Rang, Binh Thuy or O Mon. Travel time on this trip is expected to be between 30 and 45 minutes. Currently, buses take around five hours to travel between the two cities, including waiting time at the Can Tho Ferry Station. The railroad would service trains travelling at up to 350 kilometers per hour, Nam said. The new railroad is part of a plan to develop multiple links between HCM City and the economic hub in the Mekong Delta, including roads and waterways.

Hơi đắt!

Đúng thế, có 150km mà đến 4 tỉ usd. Mắc quá. Dân ở Cần Thơ cũng không giàu có mấy, đầu tư vào thì không biết khi nào mới lấy lại vốn. Thà xây đường cao tốc 10 làn từ đây đến đó còn hay hơn.

Ko xậy thì lại sợ bị tụt hậu

[nguoidoi]

Mắc quá cũng là tụt hậu, thí dụ chi phí để bên A sản xuất 1 cái ô tô là 100 triệu, bên B cũng sản xuất y chang với giá 200 triệu. Bán ra thị trường là 300 triệu. Như vậy bên A có công nghệ tốt hơn mới làm được thế.
Do đó tìm cách nào rẻ chút chứ 4 tỉ usd thì mắc quá. Sao mắc dữ vậy?

Nếu có tiền thì cứ xây hạ tầng. Chỉ sợ đây là cái cớ để các bác lãnh đạo vay nợ rồi bắt dân đen è đầu ra mà trả nợ. Nhưng thôi, ít ra có dự án mà có tính tương lai thì tuy tham nhũng vẫn còn tốt hơn là chả nghĩ ra dc được cái hướng đi nào.

Cái gì cũng có mặt lợi mặt hại của nó cả.
Dự án Railway này như 1 con dao hai lưỡi vậy

4 billions USD. Are they joking??? In France, 1 km for TGV cost 15,1 millions USD. multiply for 150 is about 2,3 billions. But the manufactor is a korean company. It should be cheaper??? Or the geology in Mekong delta is not stable and will it make a lot of trouble during building this route???

Once more, 30 - 45 min for a journey long 150km. That means, the speed is 200 - 300 km/h. Unbelievable.
Compare to aviation or highway, railway can transport higher capacity, save time and more economy. For passenger, travelling with rail is more comfortable, cheaper and really flexilble.

Hah! Nothing is impossible with Viet Nam. With 4 Billions USD, we can make everything become easy.

Well, I guess they have to import many equipments unlike France. Plus, they better account for corruption in there (kinda unavoidable) so that the project can be done at higher standard. Feed them so they can do a good job

Lấy cái giá vé xe lửa hạng nhất, đắt nhất, cao cấp nhất so với giá vé máy bay giá rẻ, bèo nhất, mua vé lâu nhất, chờ đợi nhiều nhất thì so làm gì

Read the article again. It's just about "the railroad was designed by the Transport Engineering Design Joint-Stoct Incorporated South (TEDI South) with assistance from South Korea’s ChungSuk consultanting firm".

And the construction cost of high speed rail depends on how many there're tunelling, elevated tracks etc. Being there many factors that determine the cost, you can't simply put the high speed rail construction cost per km in France into other countries. For example Honam High Speed Line in Korea, which began its construction this year, is 231.2km and is estimated to cost approximately 10 billion dollar.

I knew it. Hence, I wonder, the price is too high because of the property of mekong delta. The floor is always wet and soft. That means we have to strengthen the floor => more expensive.
I also think that the cost for labour, stuff, material in VN is cheaper than in France. Yeap, in my opinion, slightly expensive. Maybe????
