October 5 return travel Transport services expand

Oct 5

CCTV cites the Ministry of Transport saying cross-regional passenger trips exceed 300 million on October 5 as holiday return flows begin. Railways expect 21.05 million passengers and plan 1,463 additional trains. The report describes station parking improvements, a ministry assessment identifying 36 expressway sections vulnerable to congestion, extended subway hours, more night buses and taxis, and integrated station/airport/city shuttles. It also says rental-car outlets cover airports handling two million passenger trips and first-class high-speed rail hubs, with simpler rental processes and free or low-cost one-way returns. The rail volumes and additional trains are expectations; the congestion assessment is a risk forecast.

Authorities assess congestion risk on 36 expressway sections and expand late transit, shuttles and rental-car services. Rail forecasts, congestion risks and existing rental coverage retain their distinct status.
