On Monday alone, the first day of the 40-day travel rush, the Guangzhou railway operator transported 1.891 million passengers, representing an 18.4 percent increase compared to the previous year.
According to the railway group, the overall passenger flow before Spring Festival, which falls on Feb 17, will run smoothly. It mainly consists of staggered travel by students, migrant workers, people visiting family, and tourists.
In response to changing passenger flow trends, the railway group has leveraged multiple measures, including adding extra trains outside the regular schedule, operating double-unit high-speed trains, increasing nighttime high-speed train services, and attaching additional carriages to regular-speed trains.
