Pros & Cons

PROS

Livitrans has earned many positive feedbacks during its operating period thanks to its deluxe facilities and refreshments freely offered to customers. Another competitive advantage of Livitrans Express over other trains is that it features the highest number of accommodation. As a result, customers will be less likely to encounter such difficulty in booking as ticket unavailability. 

CONS

In terms of drawback, the two upper berths in a cabin cannot be folded so it might be a shortcoming to passengers who are in favor of spacious cabin. The arriving time in Hanoi is also a bit early for one to wake up and get ready to disembark
