The tram system was a major means of transport in the city for nine decades, and thus the image of the tram and its clanging sounds have gone deep into the hearts and minds of Hanoians. Since it was convenient and cheap to get around the city and the suburban areas by tram, the system was very popular.

Now, after more than 20 years, the population of Hanoi has risen from about two million people to more than six million people; therefore, the number of vehicles on the roads has increased dramatically. To meet the increasing travel demands, Hanoi is building a sky-train between Cat Linh and Ha Dong. The system is expected to begin operations by 2016, with initial four - compartment sky - trains.
