Hi everybody, My name is Nguyen Anh Dung, from Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam and I also want to do my master thesis (will start at the mid of 2007) about transportation for HCMC. As you know, traffic is really a problem in my country and it is getting worse. The recent  accidents of two famous professors (1 of US - got injured and 1 of Vietnam - dead) are just few among thousands of accidents every year (almost all caused by motorcycle). According to what I read on the net, HCMC has its master plan for transportation (done with the help from Japan International Cooperation Agency - JICA in 2004) and the authority wants to build a metro for the city also. Because of the master plan, I am not quite sure what my master thesis can do anything else about this field. Any idea is highly appreciated. My background is environmental science. Thank you.
