 The third metro line would span the distance between Bến Thành Market to the east and An Lac in Bình Tân District to the west, passing through Districts 5 and 6—the area known as Cholon, or "Chinatown".Fewer details have emerged about the third line than the others, although the city's People's Committee is reported to have approached the French government for funding and support.A 2006 document suggested a possible extension of Line 3 north of Bến Thành Market to Thủ Đức District, although officials have yet to confirm whether this extension will be built.
