Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar New Year, falls on February 16 this year. Hundreds of millions of people across China will return to their home- towns for family reunions or travel around the country in what has become the largest human migration in the world.
Around 2.98 billion trips are expected to be made during the 2018 Spring Festival travel rush from February 1 to March 12, consistent with figures from last year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.
China Railway Corp., the national rail operator, has launched a series of measures to provide “smart” services, including self-service counters to check tickets and identifi cation at the entrance of railway stations, smart navigation systems in waiting rooms, and ubiquitous travel notices.
Free smartphone apps are also available for download, allowing passengers to check details about their journey such as the number of tickets available and the number of stops along the way. As for travel by road, the integrated electronic toll collection system will help enhance the effi cien- cy of travel, said the Ministry of Transport.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China has also increased the provision of services by making full use of the Internet, new media platforms and auto identifi cation technology.
