Vietnam has put in place a motorcycle ban for Hanoi in 2030, but this a little too ambitious as the whole country relies and Hanoi especially (there being 5 million bikes in Hanoi alone), on motorbikes for all aspects of life and the sales keep increasing.

The pollution index in Hanoi becomes more and more hazardous for the people of Vietnam.

There are more than 36 million motorcycles in Vietnam which all emit more pollution than a car due to their being smaller filters on motorbikes, the larger number of them as well means that pollution in large cities is extremely high.

Cars are not cheap so buying motorcycles are the next best thing. It proves to others that you are doing well economically and helps you go around town with your friends. Many Vietnamese people count on motorcycles to transport things and get to their job in the city and especially in rural areas, the motorcycle is essential.

Motorcycles also cause mayhem on the roads and create an extremely dangerous and chaotic environment.
