Saigon's first metro line may be under construction and its 5th line fully funded, but it's often hard to grasp what things will look like when all 6 are complete.
This map above should give us our first glimpse of the full system when in full swing (click here for a full version of the map).
Tip of the hat to @dnghia for posting the map.

According to Tuoi Tre:
The other two projects are the Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien metro line (metro No. 1) that will link District 1 and District 9, and the Ben Thanh-Tham Luong metro line (metro No. 2), which will connect District 1 and District 12.
No. 3A: Ben Thanh (District 1) – Tan Kien (Binh Chanh District),
No. 3B: Cong Hoa Intersection (District 3) – Hiep Binh Phuoc (Thu Duc District),
No. 4: Nguyen Van Linh Avenue (District 7) – Ben Cat Bridge (District 12),
No. 5: Saigon Bridge (Binh Thanh District) to the Can Giuoc Coach Station in (Binh Chanh District)
No. 6: Ba Queo (Tan Binh District) – Phu Lam Roundabout (District 6). All of these projects are in the preparation stage.”
The system is still a far way off from being fully realized, but we can't wait.
