Bus schedule from Saigon to Ben Tre?

Question

I am planning a surprise vist next month. I will most likely be flying United Air so I will arive at Tan Son Nhut in the afternoon.

Which bus station do I go to and when does the Ben Tre bus leave.

Also, any idea of how much it would cost to hire a car from the airport to the ferry dock in My Tho?

Answer 1

sorry no clue

Answer 2

There is a Western bus station (Ben xe Mien Tay), from here you can wait for the small bus is better for you   (little bit dearer but faster for you, and not too crowded) to Ben Tre (about $27.00)

Answer 3

Answer 4

U can go western Bus Station, or if u know the phone number of any Ben Tre Bus, u can call them, they will come and pick u off at your place.( I know one phone, but can't remember now )

Answer 5

If you want to go by bus, I suggest that you consider some below options:

1- Take a taxi from the airport to the bus station (ben xe mien Tay). From there, you find a bus to My Tho. There is every trip leaving every hour. Cost from airport to bus station is less than US$9.00 by taxi, from bus station to My Tho: ~ US$4.00 by bus (15-seat car). Totally, it costs about US$13.00. You should carefully check which car will arrive at My Tho because some cars just stop at Ngã 3 Trung Luong.

2. Take local bus : Airport -> Quang Truong Me Linh (District 1) -> Ben xe mien Tay -> My Tho.  Total cost is about US$13.50.

3- Take airport taxi to My Tho directly. It costs about US$25 (exactly is 380.000vnd) for a 4-seat taxi. When you arrive at the airport, find the Saigon Sun taxi which is available at the airport, phone # [phone]. You should make agreement with the driver that you pay for the whole trip (đi theo chuyến, một lượt từ Saigon đi Mỹ Tho) and do not count by km (it will be more expensive). Taxi is available at the airport 24/24.

I think option #3 is most expensive but it worths since you can save time and it is more convenient.

Hope you have a nice trip to Vietnam!
