Hanoi [Vietnam], December 7 (ANI/VOVWORLD): Hanoi plans to ban motorbikes in core districts after 2025, five years earlier than an earlier plan, in order to reduce traffic congestion and emissions.

The ban will apply to all districts within the third ring road and on three major roads: Truong Sa, Hoang Sa and National Highway 5, according to a plan being prepared by the city administration.
