These public buses, which are light cream and green in color, are in the size of a minibus and provide a very convenient transportation service between 6 am and 6 pm. Busīuses, the cheapest means of public transportation, have 152 different routes in Ho Chi Minh City. It is possible to reach the airport in maximum 10 minutes in this way. If you want to have a faster and more comfortable journey, you can choose to take a taxi or rent a car. It takes about 40-45 minutes to get to Tan Son Nhat Airport with public buses, which are also very popular in urban transportation. We felt foolish and gave him a big tip for putting up with the all-knowing tourists, ha.In Ho Chi Minh City center, called also Saigon / District 1, you can see many public transport means.
Twice! He shook his head and went our "right" way but while driving pulled up the routes on his GPS.
At first we thought this driver was trying to take us the wrong way. The driver's route was half the distance and half the cost. First time in VT and the only way we found out the route was extra long was taking a VS taxi back to the ferry. On Vung Tau we had a Vina Sun take us the long way. The taxi ripoffs are a big problem for tourists. But he admitted the reports on TA are not embellished. The manager also asked us to please not remember the taxi issues and to focus on his beautiful city. Our hotel manager said the worst taxi scam is arriving late at night and being told the driver will drop you off in the middle of dark HCMC and being forced to pay exponentially more. Thankfully our small carry-ons were with us in the back seat. Then he gets out and says the trunk will not be opened for our luggage unless we pay more. We demanded change even after he said "but I had to pay the airport toll" which we knew is the driver's responsibility. We kept saying "meter, we'll pay what's on the meter." Destination was 180,000 if I remember. Takes the long way which most do but his was so obviously just driving around the block. The guy pulled the usual tricks mentioned throughout the HCMC forum: pulls over demanding 500,000, a minute later 400,000, etc. We intentionally took a metered taxi that is not one of the two highly recommended in this thread.
