On January 26th, 2024, the Spring Festival travel festival kicked off. During the 40 day Spring Festival travel rush, there may be 9 billion people traveling, setting a new historical high, of which approximately 7.2 billion are self driving. What is the difference in the 2024 Spring Festival travel? How can railways ensure Spring Festival travel? On January 26th, the 40 day Spring Festival travel officially began. In response to the record high passenger flow, various railway departments are introducing relevant service measures. Shanghai Railway Station has added trains specifically for the northeast direction; As a major province for labor export, Anhui has added trains to serve migrant workers returning home and to work; Beijing Railway has also launched a series of Spring Festival travel service guarantee measures. During the Spring Festival travel rush, 61.08 million tickets have been sold. What if we can't get them? Ning Fei, Director of the Passenger Transport Management Department of China Railway Group's Passenger Transport Department: We have noticed that passenger travel during the Spring Festival travel rush is relatively concentrated, and in some regions and periods, transportation capacity is relatively tight, especially on popular routes, where tickets are more in demand. The railway department will further explore the transportation potential based on the sales and standby data of 12306 passenger tickets, and adopt methods such as adding temporary passenger trains, multiple units of high-speed trains, and adding carriages to ordinary speed trains to increase transportation capacity, in order to meet the travel needs of passengers as much as possible. This year, we have also optimized and upgraded the standby function of 12306, increasing the number of standby orders and extending the waiting redemption time. The success rate of standby will be further improved. At the same time, we also suggest that passengers take staggered trips or use transfer trains to reach their destination. The railway passenger volume has increased by nearly 20% compared to 2019. How can the transportation capacity cope with the large passenger flow? Ning Fei, Director of the Passenger Transport Management Department of China Railway Group: From the pre-sale situation of 12306 ticket sales, the trend of passenger flow growth is quite obvious. It is expected that cities such as Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen, and Wuhan will become hot spots for travelers to depart and arrive. The passenger flow of routes from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Guiyang, Wuhan, Chongqing and other areas, as well as newly opened routes such as the Changjing Huang high-speed railway and the Zhengji high-speed railway, has increased significantly. In order to cope with sudden large passenger flows, the railway department reserves a certain number of passenger vehicles and crew members at the main hub nodes of the entire route, striving to be prepared for emergencies and fully meeting the needs of passenger travel. What targeted adjustments have been made by the railway department in response to the characteristics of "visiting relatives+tourism" during the Spring Festival travel rush? Ning Fei, Director of the Passenger Transport Management Department of China Railway Group: We have analyzed the composition of passenger flow and the patterns of travel in advance, optimized transportation capacity in a targeted manner, and made efforts to achieve a reasonable match between transportation capacity and passenger travel needs In the traditional areas of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou with a high flow of family visits, transportation capacity has been increased to areas such as Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanchang, and Xi'an Passenger trains have also been added to tourist hotspots such as Northeast China In response to the short distance tourism and family visits during the holiday period, relevant railway bureaus have organized targeted addition of passenger trains within their jurisdiction to better meet the diverse travel needs of passengers. 80% of people choose to drive during this year's Spring Festival travel, and the most popular mode of transportation is not by railway or civil aviation, but by self driving. Self driving during this year's Spring Festival travel has prominent characteristics of cross provincial travel, with a relatively long duration. During peak hours, the road network bears the burden
