Even the thought of sitting on a bus for more than eight hours is daunting for most people. But for many in the Vietnamese community, getting on board the Bahn Mi line is more than just a bumpy ride.
"I do feel like I'm at home," said passenger Ramie Le."Even the landscape, I feel like we're in the countryside in my country."
"We talked the whole eight hours because we haven't been on vacation together that long so that's quality time together with family," she said. Like many of its passengers, Le's grandmother, Hung, doesn't speak English. Taking the bus with other Vietnamese-speaking people, she says, has been a god send.
The bus line — officially called Xe Đò Hoàng -- used to come with a free meal, an iconic Vietnamese sub called Bhan Mi. The sandwiches were such a part of the trip that, over the years, the bus simply became known as the Bahn Mi line. Since COVID, it's bring your own sandwich. The price of ticket is $50, about a quarter of what it would cost to fly.
