From the railway station, it’s a 10-minute walk to the public bus stop.
Go straight when you walk out of the railway station and turn left when you stand in front of the Pizza Hut on the corner of the street (4-min walk). From here, it’s a 500m walk (6min) to the bus stop located at 155 Le Duan Road.

From this bus stop, you can catch the yellow public bus #1, running every 20 minutes from 5:30 till 17:50.
See here the exact route:
