Guaranteed capacity

-Increase the number of trains and "north-south diversion" to meet the travel needs of passengers.

Whenever there is a rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush, "Can I get a ticket" is one of the most concerned topics. In this year's Spring Festival travel rush, in addition to a number of newly-built high-speed railways such as Xicheng High-speed Railway and Shijie High-speed Railway, the railway departments have also deployed measures such as adding more trains and "north-south diversion" to increase the effective supply of railway transportation.

Most of the "Southbound Support Trains" come from northeast and northwest regions. For example, China Railway Shenyang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. undertook 7 groups 130 buses to support the south this year, and China Railway Harbin Bureau Group Co., Ltd. undertook 7 groups 133 buses to support the south. According to media reports, these trains will go south one after another before the start of Spring Festival travel rush to provide capacity support for Spring Festival travel rush.

Keep steady

-Fighting snow and ice and keeping Spring Festival travel rush open.

Recently, many places in China ushered in a wide range of long-term low-temperature rain and snow weather, posing a "difficult problem" for the upcoming Spring Festival travel rush craze. In this regard, many places are struggling with ice and snow to ensure the smooth progress of Spring Festival travel rush.

Taking the railway as an example, in order to ensure the safe travel of passengers, China Railway Wuhan Bureau Group Co., Ltd. recently organized railway cadres and workers to fight day and night, sweep snow and remove ice, ensure the good use of equipment, and strengthen transportation organization to minimize the impact of snowfall.

Recently, China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. also organized staff to deice and remove snow from station platforms, squares, lines and turnouts to ensure the safe operation of passenger trains. At the same time, in Jiujiang, Ruichang, Lushan and other stations, passenger flow will be intensified, and anti-skid mats, straw bags and anti-skid notices will be placed to facilitate passengers' travel.

On the highway, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice on 2 1 to redeploy the traffic security work in Spring Festival travel rush in 20 18, requiring all localities to carry out investigation and rectification in advance, and prohibiting unqualified vehicles and drivers from participating in Spring Festival travel rush's rush. Strengthen traffic emergency management and improve the scientific and refined level. In snow and ice weather, as far as possible, through speed limit, intermittent release, vehicle release, police cars with lanes and other measures, guide vehicles to pass in an orderly manner and try not to close roads.

In terms of civil aviation, Nanjing, Wuhan and other airports affected by rain and snow have also introduced relevant measures to clear the runway, apron, aircraft and roads in the airport area to ensure the normal operation of the airport and the smooth travel of passengers.

Keep it convenient

-"Black technology" such as robots and face-brushing pit stops helped Spring Festival travel rush to steal the race.

In some areas, the self-service real-name registration system registration and verification channel of the railway station, commonly known as "brushing the face to enter the station", has also become a highlight of Spring Festival travel rush's ticket grab this year.

With this "black technology", passengers only need to brush the second-generation ID card and magnetic card ticket on the machine and aim at the screen to complete the integrated verification of tickets, certificates and people, and the gate will automatically open to complete the self-service pit stop process.

It is reported that China Railway Nanning Bureau Group Co., Ltd. plans to install 2 14 face-brushing entrance ticket gates in Nanning, Guilin, Beihai and other railway stations around the peak of Spring Festival travel rush.

In addition, at the peak of Spring Festival travel rush this year, Beijing Railway Station, Beijing West Railway Station and Beijing South Railway Station will also add 32 self-service real-name registration system check-in channels to shorten the time for passengers to pass the self-service check-in.

In addition to "brushing the face and entering the station", robots have become another "black technology" in this year's Spring Festival travel rush craze. Hangzhou Railway Station introduced robots this year, using big data technology to realize all the intelligence of guidance, inquiry and lost and found.

For safety

-Upgrade security inspection, crack down on scalpers and ensure that passengers can go home with peace of mind.

The safety of Spring Festival travel rush has always been a concern of tourists. In view of the large number of passengers and articles carried by various transportation hubs during Spring Festival travel rush, many stations and airports have also optimized and upgraded their security measures.

For example, at present, all major railway stations in Beijing carry out "full coverage" security checks for passengers and articles, and hand-check key parts such as underarms, waist, legs and ankles of passengers. Passengers wearing hats should also take off their hats for inspection.

The Wuhan Railway Public Security Bureau has put forward the mission goal of "Spring Festival travel rush will not let a dangerous person and a dangerous article get on the train this year".

In addition to the security upgrade, railway police authorities all over the country have also made great efforts to ensure the safety of ticket purchase, so as not to cause unnecessary losses to passengers' "money bags".

With the arrival of the peak period of pre-sale tickets in Spring Festival travel rush, the illegal acts of reselling tickets and manufacturing and selling fake tickets have risen. While organizing the "Falcon -20 18" campaign to crack down on scalping, local railway police authorities have also extensively launched publicity activities to crack down on scalping and counterfeiting, so as to enhance tourists' legal awareness.

I wish everyone a safe and smooth return to their hometown.
