Guides pick up passengers at 7:30 am every Saturday and Sunday at the Sai Gon Railway Station to catch train SE6, which departs at 8:00 and arrives in Di An town at 8:45.

The return leg uses train SPT1 that leaves Di An town at 17:35, arriving in Ho Chi Minh City at 18:35.

Earlier, Sai Gon Railways JSC also launched new routes to connect the city’s outskirts with Bien Hoa city, the neighbouring province of Dong Nai. The new routes are expected to meet the demand for shorter routes, reducing pressure on overcrowded roads.

There are ten trains running each day, including two trains connecting Song Than and Bien Hoa, four connecting Bien Hoa and Go Vap and four connecting Bien Hoa and Sai Gon.
