According to rough estimates, in 2024 Hanoi will have an estimated 5.6 million motorcycles in circulation. A tentative conclusion-that a considerable number of people in Hanoi, Vietnam, use motorcycles as a means of transport-can be made from the lack of percentage information on the subject. The Vietnamese press also reported that Hanoi, by way of implementing a ban on motorcycle use in the city's central areas, intends to contain traffic congestion and diminish air pollution in and after 2025. Overall, it is suggestive of a seemingly significant role played by motorcycles within Hanoi's transportation system, with the support of a populace displaying a reliance on the motorcycle for traveling and working.
