Transportation:

 Main transportation of Saigon is motorbike. However, the enjoyable transportation for foreigner tourists is “Xich Lo”. It looks like a little carriage with only one seat and two wheels that it is being pulled by a person. Taxi cab fleets are plentiful in this city day and night. Commuters can take bus lines, motorcycle taxis, ferries and boats. You may also find a great number of car rentals within the city.
