HO CHI MINH CITY nike air max cierne damske , April 19 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City will put into operation an addition of nearly 600 buses using compressed natural gas (CNG) by the end of this year, local media reported Wednesday.
Ho Chi Minh City currently has 256 CNG-powered buses, and will increase the number of such vehicles to 841 by the end of 2017, daily newspaper Thanh Nien (Young People) reported.

The city offers fare subsidy to passengers of CNG-fuelled buses to encourage the use of environment-friendly public transport.
"Straight Outta Compton" is a box office force. The N.W.A biopic earned $60.2 million in its opening weekend — even more than Sunday estimates suggested — according to actual totals released Monday.
Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures co-financed the film about the seminal hip-hop group, which opened on 2,757 screens in North America. It cost only $29 million to produce.
In addition to more than doubling its production budget, "Straight Outta Compton" represents the biggest opening for a musical biopic ever — smashing previous record-holder "Walk the Line's" $22.3 million.
Warner Bros.' stylish period spy thriller "The Man From U.N.C.L.E" did not fare as well. The $80 million film earned a paltry $13.4 million for a third-place spot, behind "Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation."
