The escaping roof floods the Hanoi underground station after heavy rain

Heavy rain and strong winds swept over Hanoi around 10 a.m. rainwater through the damaged roof on the platform of the Yen Nghia in the Ha Dong district to soak the area. The ward management used two employees to continuously build the water.

The employees reported that part of the roof of the station had been canceled by Taifun Yagi in September 2024 and had not yet been repaired.

In conversation with the media, a representative of Hanoi Metro Co., Ltd., said the operator of the Metro line that the company can only recommend repairs because ownership of Hanoi is owned by Hanoi.

The state-owned company currently completes the procedures to take full responsibility for the infrastructure and the assets of Cat Linh-Ha Dong. As soon as the transmission is complete, the operator plans to solve all maintenance problems immediately.

At the beginning of this week, on May 19, the bad air conditioning on a Cat Linh-Ha-Dong train led to water walking into a car and forced some commuters to use umbrellas or change the seats. The Hanoi Metro later made it clear that the problem was due to unstable drainage of the air conditioning.

In February, the U -Bahn service experienced disorders due to a power failure, which caused reimbursements and forced the passengers to find alternative transport.

The 13-kilometer increased subway line with 12 stations began in November 2021 and became Vietnam's first subway line in November 2021.

According to Hanoi Metro, the line served 3.23 million passengers in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 13.3%compared to the previous year and achieved ticket sales of over 20 billion and ($ 770,600) and 9.1%.
