The new routes will expand the municipal public transport network to outer districts where service is currently limited.

The four CNG bus routes include Kim Lu (Soc Son district) - Nam Thang Long (Bac Tu Liem district), Cau Giay - Tam Hiep (Thanh Tri district), Nhon - Tho An (Dan Phuong district) and Yen Nghia - Hoai Duc.

Three of the 17 other routes are designed to improve access to public transport by carrying passengers from new urban zones to major roads in the city centre.

Under the project "Improving service quality and developing public passenger transport systems by bus in Hanoi for the period of 2016 – 2020 and 2025, with orientation to 2030", the local bus network will be extended with 21 new bus routes.
