HCM City launches fingerprint scanning programme of students on school busesVietNamNet Bridge – The HCM City Public Transport Management Centre has launched a pilot programme to use fingerprint scans on school buses to enable schools to better manage school ridership. An employee with the HCM City Public Transport Management Centre collects fingerprints of students at Nguyen Binh Khiem primary school in District 1. Lam Hong Lam Thuy, the school principal, said, because of privacy concerns, she must receive parents’ approval before the centre collects students’ fingerprints. Trung hopes that with this programme the number of students going to school by bus will increase. Trung said after assessing the impact of the programme, the centre would expand it to all schools in the city.
