Will the Qingming holiday usher in the peak of travel?
On the first day of the Qingming holiday, the national railways and highways ushered in the peak of travel, and the passenger flow was mainly based on sweeping graves to visit relatives and hiking. Among them, the national railway is expected to send 6.5438+0.39 million passengers, setting a new record for Tomb-Sweeping Day to send passengers over the years.
The passenger flow of intercity railways in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region continues to be hot. Many places have added EMUs in the direction of popular cities, or increased the number of EMUs from 8 to 16 for reconnection. The railway department is improving its transport capacity and service quality. At Beijing Railway Station, 30 "passenger assistance devices" were added during the Qingming holiday this year. Expressway, which was once closed due to snowfall and road icing, mostly resumed traffic around noon on April 6. The traffic control department in Beijing predicts that the traffic around the cemetery and scenic spots will remain concentrated on the 7th, and the peak time will be between 9: 00am-12. People are advised to travel at the wrong peak.
