Many studies have been carried out over the last 15 years or so into the development of a metro system for Ho Chi Minh City (hcmc), and in particular into the development of the proposed line 2. The document management system includes an extensive list of these studies. The following list presents the most important ones.
When you check out material from other studies you should remember that
- the chainages which they quote are different to the chainages which will be developed in this study, and
- the coordinates system which their plans and drawings are based on are probably different to the coordinates system which this study will use
