Why It Matters
During the National Day holiday, transportation across the country ushered in a peak return passenger flow, and the transportation department strengthened capacity dispatch and service guarantee.
Today is the sixth day of the National Day holiday, and transportation across the country is welcoming return passengers. The reporter learned from the Ministry of Transport that yesterday (5th), the number of people moving across regions across society exceeded 300 million. Today, the country's railways are expected to carry 22.1 million passengers, and plan to operate 2,199 additional trains.
In view of the peak characteristics of instantaneous concentration of outbound passenger flow and overlapping arrivals of multiple trains, stations in many places have dynamically opened additional exits, increased bus frequency, extended night operating hours, and created an integrated connection of "high-speed rail + bus + culture and tourism" to ensure convenient transfers.
Judging from the pre-sales situation of Railway 12306, the passenger flow in popular sections such as Nanning to Guangzhou, Shenzhen to Hong Kong, Chengdu to Xi'an, Wuhan to Shanghai, Guangzhou; Jinan, Shenyang to Beijing and other areas is relatively concentrated. The railway department dynamically analyzes passenger travel demand, adjusts ticket allocation in real time, increases transportation capacity in popular directions, and launches through trains to and from scenic spots to facilitate passenger travel.
On the way back, multiple service areas break away from the traditional single-rest function of service areas and create a new transportation and travel integration scene with technological experience, intangible cultural heritage, and special business formats, so that long-distance return passengers can have a better experience when they stop midway.
According to the judgment of the Ministry of Transport, there are 44 sections of highways across the country prone to congestion today, mainly in Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Hebei and other provinces.
