Therefore, the increase in the price of the car company is also a part of the cost. how to offset the costs that drivers have to bear for a long time”, said Mr. Hien.

The minimum price of the GoFood service increased by 1,000 VND compared to the previous one.

In Hanoi, the minimum fare for GoRide trips increased to 13,000 VND and increased by 700 – 1,600 VND for each subsequent kilometer for trips from 2 to 4 km. Vehicles over 4 km have an additional increase of 200 – 1,200 VND for each subsequent kilometer.
