WEBVTT 00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:06.872 Metro Line 1 officially became the first train to operate commercially from 00:00:06.872 --> 00:00:10.523 December 22, 2014, meeting the expectations and hopes of many people in 00:00:10.523 --> 00:00:11.740 Ho Chi Minh City. 00:00:11.860 --> 00:00:14.862 This is not only an important turning point, changing the traffic 00:00:14.862 --> 00:00:17.863 infrastructure of Ho Chi Minh City, creating convenience for people in 00:00:17.863 --> 00:00:21.410 traveling, but also a source of pride, the brainchild of hundreds of workers, 00:00:21.410 --> 00:00:23.320 engineers, and experts at home and abroad. 00:00:23.690 --> 00:00:27.578 I am very happy that the work that I do and the work that I am doing 00:00:27.578 --> 00:00:28.950 now is being put into operation. 00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:32.150 And people can experience what we have tried to build. 00:00:32.550 --> 00:00:34.350 So it feels both happy and proud. 00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:36.350 Everything is new here. 00:00:36.610 --> 00:00:39.786 In our Metro line, besides Hanoi, this is also the first line 00:00:39.786 --> 00:00:41.110 in Ho Chi Minh City. 00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:44.680 So almost all the knowledge we learn and the knowledge we are trained 00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:46.030 in are all new knowledge. 00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:51.070 So when we officially launched the commercial operation, we felt that it 00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:53.170 was a very heavy challenge. 00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:58.301 Because we have to be on standby all the time and feel like when there is a 00:00:58.301 --> 00:01:01.981 problem and it's still an incident, we have to always make sure that the ship 00:01:01.981 --> 00:01:04.190 is always okay to operate, to ensure the operation. 00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:08.440 It's a lot of fun but the pressure is even greater if people compete a lot. 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.800 There are days like December 22 when the number of customers is so high that we 00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:16.320 have to continuously increase the number of customers. 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:22.866 On normal days, there are also many guests, many guests from Binh Long in 00:01:22.866 --> 00:01:28.100 the West come here to experience, I feel very happy and excited. 00:01:29.266 --> 00:01:33.206 Looking back at the time before Metro Line 1 was about to operate at the very busy stations, 00:01:33.546 --> 00:01:37.186 From early morning, the line maintenance team started the first job of the day, 00:01:37.586 --> 00:01:41.246 Carefully check and repair along the line from the transformer station to Long Binh depot. 00:01:41.905 --> 00:01:45.707 The most difficult thing in reality is that we have to make sure that 00:01:45.707 --> 00:01:47.065 we always fulfill our responsibilities. 00:01:47.065 --> 00:01:49.925 The first is when there is no visual inspection. 00:01:49.925 --> 00:01:51.025 Meaning we check by eye 00:01:51.025 --> 00:01:54.845 And I check by hand, I touch, I touch to check for confirmation. 00:01:54.845 --> 00:01:57.605 Then those jobs are that we have to raise our responsibility. 00:01:57.605 --> 00:02:00.165 It's not that I just go with my eyes, I just go looking, I just pass by. 00:02:00.165 --> 00:02:03.405 Don't look like that, you will never find the error that way. 00:02:03.405 --> 00:02:06.105 Because it is the special problem of the ship 00:02:06.105 --> 00:02:08.945 First is to operate safely, safety is paramount. 00:02:08.945 --> 00:02:13.245 So the first thing we have to do is make sure the ship always operates safely. 00:02:13.245 --> 00:02:14.665 What is my ship is a passenger ship 00:02:14.665 --> 00:02:17.765 But it is not safe enough to be almost impossible to carry passengers. 00:02:18.558 --> 00:02:24.544 Before operating, the inspections by the head office were very difficult and 00:02:24.544 --> 00:02:27.038 strict in terms of time. 00:02:27.038 --> 00:02:31.178 And later, after operation, we have to be more strict. 00:02:31.858 --> 00:02:34.286 When entering into commercial operations, there are a lot of 00:02:34.286 --> 00:02:36.958 customers, I always have to give myself a very high responsibility. 00:02:37.478 --> 00:02:41.986 Not the guarantees for passengers and trains to travel from 00:02:41.986 --> 00:02:43.338 station to station. 00:02:43.338 --> 00:02:49.038 So that nothing goes wrong. 00:02:49.945 --> 00:02:53.477 The first trains rolling on the modern railway line confirm that all the hard 00:02:53.477 --> 00:02:57.765 work and efforts of those who have been working silently all this time have been duly rewarded.
