Planes are packed, railway carriages are full, and cars are jammed across the entire urban area as travellers slowly make their way back home.

Buses from the north, central and central highlands line the streets near the Mien Tay (Western) Bus Station.

Some public buses began running earlier than usual to accommodate the increase in travellers.

It is especially slow going for these motorists on Dinh Bo Linh Road.

It is no different on Highway 13.
