On January 10th, the 2020 Spring Festival travel rush started. From Jan. 10 to Feb. 18, the total number of trips is likely to hit 3 billion, slightly up from the travel rush last year, with an 8-percent growth in train trips, 8.4-percent increase in air trips and 9.6-percent hike in waterway trips, according to a forecast from the National Development and Reform Commission. Due to the continued expansion in high-speed railway operational length, the number of road trips is expected to decline to 2.43 billion.
All high-speed railway stations will allow passengers to use electronic tickets. According to China State Railway Co., passengers can check in without paper tickets at 1,020 railway stations across the country, which is expected to increase the speed of passengers’ flow. Rail authorities are offering discount tickets to encourage more passengers to travel against the flow during the travel rush, easing transportation pressure.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said the Beijing Daxing International Airport, which started operation in late September last year, will see 1.9 million travelers during the 40-day festival rush, and the daily number of flights could hit 312, up 15 percent from normal.
Starting from 0:00 a.m. on January 1, 2020, 487 toll stations at provincial boundaries of national expressways have been canceled in 29 provinces. Use of electronic toll-collection devices will improve traffic efficiency at toll gates.
