<div id="cke_pastebin" style="text-align: left;">Developing countries face the problem of overcrowded streets. It is caused by rapid urbanization processes, meanwhile, a development of public transport services is insufficient. Nowadays, south-east Asia cities invest in rapid transit systems. Construction of a metro line demands big financial expenses to create its infrastructure. On the other hand, bus service uses city roads, but travel is relatively slow and its operation depends on the traffic, especially during peak hours. Therefore, cities have to focus on complementary systems of buses and rapid transit. The paper presents analyses of the existing bus network for the city of Hanoi. While the first two lines of a metro system are still under construction, the buses remain the only public transportation service in the city. The bus routes and bus stops are evaluated. The network coverage of residential areas is assessed and the blind spots are determined. The bus stops network is compared with newly constructed rapid transit stations. The strong and weak points of the transport system are discussed.</div>
