Starting from May 2024, the railway sector operates the SPT2/SPT1 train pair on the Saigon – Phan Thiet route daily instead of only running on certain days of the week as before. This increase in train services aims to meet the high demand for passenger travel during the summer, with prices ranging from 169,000 to 294,000 dong per ticket per trip depending on the seat type and departure date.
The SPT2 train departs from Saigon station at 6:30 a.m., arriving at Phan Thiet station at 10:50 a.m. The SPT1 train departs from Phan Thiet station at 1:00 p.m., arriving at Saigon station at 5:30 p.m. The train stops to pick up and drop off passengers at Saigon, Di An, Bien Hoa, Long Khanh, Gia Ray, Gia Huynh, Binh Thuan, and Phan Thiet stations.
Furthermore, upon arrival at Phan Thiet station, passengers can utilize additional services for easier transportation, such as bus services from Phan Thiet station to Long Son, Suoi Nuoc, and vice versa, or renting motorbikes directly at the station. Passengers can purchase bus tickets at Saigon station, on the Saigon – Phan Thiet train, or through the ticket sales hotline.
Passengers traveling by train are also provided with a new all-inclusive service package including round-trip train tickets, bus tickets, and one-night stay at a 3-4-star resort, priced from only 1,110,000 dong per combo.
Additionally, the SPT1/SPT2 trains have added passenger pick-up stations at Gia Ray station (Xuan Loc district, Dong Nai province) and Gia Huynh station (Tanh Linh district, Binh Thuan province).
