The transportation department has increased measures to enhance services and ensure smooth travel for passengers during peak hours
CCTV News: The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is the peak for public travel, with a high overlap of family visits, tourism, and student traffic. The transportation department has increased service measures to ensure smooth travel for passengers.
In some popular tourism directions, the railway department has increased its transportation capacity by adding trains and operating high-speed trains at night. It is expected that 10868 passenger trains will be operated nationwide. During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the tourist flow from Xi'an to Huashan is relatively concentrated. China Railway Xi'an Bureau operates 118 high-speed trains between Xi'an and Huashan every day, with an average of 7 minutes per train, achieving the goal of public transportation. At the same time, an additional night high-speed train G9936 from Xi'an to Huashan will be opened every day.
Huashan North Station Manager Cai Jiangjun: In order to facilitate passengers taking the high-speed train at night to Huashan, we have proactively contacted the Huayin Transportation Bureau to extend the bus service time from Huashan North Station to Huashan Scenic Area until 11 pm.
On the first day of the holiday, the traffic on the highways gradually increased, and the traffic on the road network rapidly increased. The traffic volume of main highways such as Beijing Hong Kong Macao, Daguang, and Beijing Kunming has remained high. In order to make up for the shortage of charging stations in the high-speed service area, Hebei has added more than 30 new energy vehicle charging stations near the highway entrance, greatly reducing the waiting time for new energy vehicle owners to charge in the service area.
New energy vehicle owner Wang Zhanyong: It's quite close to the highway intersection, just a turn away, and there's no need to queue, which can save a lot of time.
The latest news from the Ministry of Transport shows that the national highways are expected to send 30.95 million passengers today, an increase of 66.3% compared to the same period in 2022. The national waterway is expected to send 1 million passengers, an increase of 164.82% compared to the same period in 2022.
In terms of civil aviation, from the booking situation, the routes between Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Beijing, Chongqing, and Xi'an are still popular routes for air travel. Capital Airport has improved its service details by providing "First time Passenger Travel Reminder Cards" for domestic and foreign passengers arriving and leaving the airport for the first time based on their entry and exit needs, indicating key service information such as entry and exit procedures, corresponding check-in counters, boarding gate locations, and restricted items during security checks.
During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, civil aviation plans to operate an average of 16110 flights per day, an increase of 1.7% compared to the same period in 2019; The average daily passenger transportation is expected to reach 1.98 million, an increase of 11.5% compared to the same period in 2019.
