The Ministry of Transport was assigned to work with the Ministry of Finance to collect comments from relevant ministries and agencies to finalize the report and send it to the Government for consideration before submitting to the NASC.

Earlier, on January 12, during an online discussion with citizens via the VGP, Transport Minister Đinh La Thăng announced that the collected fees would be used for several purposes, like  reinvesting into improving transport infrastructure and addressing traffic congestions. The fee collection would ensure equality for people.  

Under the Transport Minister’s proposal, motorbikes would have to pay between VND 500,000-VND 1 million (US $23.70- $47.50) per year. Cars would have to pay between VND 20-VND 50 million (US $951-$2,300) annually.

Cars, with the exception of public transport means and buses, would have to pay fees of between VND 30-50 million (US $1.40- $2.40) when entering or leaving local city centers during rush hours./.
