In 10 days, the Spring Festival travel will soon begin. The latest data from the Ministry of Transport shows that the cross regional personnel flow during this year's Spring Festival travel is expected to reach 9 billion, setting a new historical high. In 1954, the word "Spring Festival travel" first appeared in the media. At that time, the "main players" of the Spring Festival travel were students, government officials, and others. They all took the green train and slowly "bumped" back to their hometowns. Over the past 70 years, people have been using increasingly advanced and diverse modes of transportation, with shorter travel times and more fresh experiences during the Spring Festival travel rush. As the second Spring Festival travel rush after the transition of epidemic prevention and control, there has been a significant release of travel demand this year. According to predictions, the operating passenger volume of this year's Spring Festival travel, including railways, highways, waterways, and civil aviation, will reach 1.8 billion people, an increase of over 200 million people compared to 2023. According to the calculation that a person needs to take four trips back and forth, it is equivalent to an additional 50 million people moving around. The solution to the problem of hundreds of millions of people traveling simultaneously relies on more newly opened routes, more optimized travel schedules, promoting improvement through quality, and exchanging speed for time. On January 10th, China's railways implemented a new train schedule to better serve Spring Festival travel. The longest one-way travel time from Chengdu to Urumqi can be compressed by 9 hours and 24 minutes, while from Changchun to Nanning can save up to 16 hours and 19 minutes... For travelers, the distance back home has not changed, but home feels closer. Providing everyone with a better travel experience is the pursuit of the transportation department. After implementing the new train schedule, the railway department has specially arranged 20 rural revitalization passenger trains in the northeast, southwest, and northwest regions, increasing the frequency of stops in poverty-stricken counties, and continuing to operate public welfare "slow trains" to provide more support for promoting comprehensive rural revitalization. As the largest periodic migration of human beings, such large-scale travel relies on increasingly developed comprehensive transportation networks. At the beginning of the new year, major transportation infrastructure projects in various regions have been put on the agenda one after another. The high-speed railway network and expressway network are connected in clusters, and civil aviation construction continues to advance. The construction of transportation infrastructure is a major artery for regional development, making it convenient for people to travel. At the same time, it has also become a "locomotive" driving domestic demand. After discussing the commercial passenger volume, let's talk about the non commercial passenger volume. Self driving travel can be said to be very popular this year. According to predictions, the number of non business small passenger cars traveling on highways and ordinary national and provincial trunk lines is about 7.2 billion, accounting for 80% of the total travel volume of people in society, which is more than twice the same period in 2023. What is the reason why self driving has become the absolute mainstream of Spring Festival travel? On the one hand, the increase in the number of private cars provides more possibilities for self driving travel, and the mature development of navigation technology provides protection for self driving travel. More and more people are willing to drive out for a ride. The comprehensive restoration of normal operation of the economy and society has made people's desire for tourism and leisure increasingly strong. The way to choose to reunite with family and friends is no longer limited to returning to their hometown, but can also go out of their homes and countries, pursue "poetry and distant places" outdoors, and go to popular commercial districts to "buy and buy". On the other hand, there are more security measures for public self driving travel. The free passage period for small buses during this year's Spring Festival holiday is from February 9th to 17th
