China's railway network is predicted to handle 11.5 million passenger trips on New Year's Day, the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. said Wednesday.
The railway sector has added trains on busy routes, reinforced safety measures, and improved services to ensure a safe and efficient travel experience on the first day of 2025.
A total of 342 additional trains have been deployed, bringing the number of trains operating across China's railway network on Wednesday to 10,427.
China is gearing up for a busy transportation season as the Spring Festival travel rush, known as chunyun, approaches. Train tickets for the travel rush went on sale Tuesday.
The Spring Festival, China's biggest traditional holiday, will fall on January 29 this year. The chunyun period, known for its high transportation demand as millions return home for family reunions, will run from January 14 to February 22.
