  • The most reliable and popular taxi companies: Mai Linh (white and green) and Vinasun (white) are reliable and widely used. 
  • Tip: Before leaving the airport, make sure you have cash in the Vietnamese Dong (VND). We recommends having at least VND 300,000 (or around US$ 14.00) to get to your destination.

  • HCMC has an extensive bus network with over 100 different routes throughout the city. Most buses are equipped with comfortable seats and air conditioning. They are the safest and cheapest way to get around the city, and they stop at major tourist sights.
  • Buses are affordable (around 5,000-10,000 VND per ride), but it might take time to understand the routes. You can use the BusMap app for easy navigation.
