Vietnam cuts road toll to ease transporters’ Covid pain

Goods transport vehicles such as trucks and tractors will get a 10 percent discount.

It is one of 37 fees that will be slashed by 10-50 percent to mitigate difficulties caused by Covid-19.

Transport companies have been reporting plunging revenues and losses due to the prolonged restrictions to curb the spread of the infection.

The number of road passengers in the first 11 months was down by 30 percent year-on-year to 2.27 billion, according to the General Statistics Office.
