VietNamNet Bridge - The Vietnam Railway Corporation has announced that it will provide free Internet services at seven railways stations and then on trains.

Mr. Nguyen Van Binh, Deputy General Director of the Hanoi Railway Passenger Transportation Company, says that the service will be offered by Viettel Telecom Company in the next one to three months.

At first, the service will be available on trains SE1/2 on the Hanoi - HCM City route. After learning from experience, the service will be implemented on other trains.

At the same time, Binh says, the railway sector is installing wireless Internet networks in seven major stations across the country to serve passengers.

The railway sector is trying to change services as well as improve business performance since the Japanese ODA-related scandal at a railway project was uncovered several months ago.

Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang asked the sector to improve the service, particularly the attitude of railway staff towards passengers.
