Urb An Overview Of Ho Chi Minh City Metro Plan, Ho Chi Minh City Metro Concept Map
In 2012 Ho Chi Minh City began the first of nine planned transit lines (6 metro, 2 monorails, and 1 light rail). Line 1 is under construction, with Line 2 having briefly started before it stalled. The other lines are so far off from starting that there is no official metro map, so I made one with what information is available to the public.

While I was making the map and plotting the stations on a Google Map, I started seeing gaping holes in the map of where a metro system would be useful. Being based in Saigon and documenting the new urban areas, I’m familiar with the main roads, the places with heavy traffic congestion, and where a metro system will be needed in the future.
Here is my vision of an expanded Greater Ho Chi Minh City Metro.

This map combines every officially proposed metro and overland rail line, with new metro and regional lines that would make a better metro service in the future.
The current proposed metro system was planned with a population forecast of 10 million for 2025, but in 2017 it was revealed that the population was already around 13 million. The system will certainly need to be expanded beyond 9 lines in the future, so these are my recommendations.
This map draws inspiration from the megacities of East Asia, where populations are already closer to 20 million and have appropriate metro systems to handle large populations. I used Shanghai in the heading as there are similarities between Saigon and Shanghai. Apart from both once being the “pearl of the orient”, Saigon has a new urban area (Thu Thiem) that is similar in geography to the Pudong new urban area in Shanghai. Saigon will also eventually have two airports like Shanghai, and they are both the financial capitals of their respective countries.
About the concept map
The first 9 lines listed are what have already been officially proposed. There are some discrepancies over stations as not all of the proposed lines have detailed plans yet, but I’ve put together the best presentation. The official lines are renumbered for clarity, so the first 9 lines on this map aren’t the same numbers on the official map.

The current Line 3A will be part of Line 1, and the monorail and light rail are numbered with the metro lines. I’ve also added some extensions to existing proposals, and those additions are listed below. This map also includes commuter/regional railways overlaid onto the metro system. Most of these lines have been proposed before, and I’ve made a note on each line of my recommendations.
