Los ferrocarriles de China registran 158 millones de viajes de pasajeros durante el festivo del Día del Trabajo

Los ferrocarriles de China transportaron cerca de 158 millones de pasajeros durante los ocho días del periodo festivo del Día del Trabajo, comprendido entre el 29 de abril y el 6 de mayo. El China State Railway Group señaló una fuerte demanda de viajes y visitas familiares. El 1 de mayo se registró una cifra récord de 24,8 millones de viajes.

El China State Railway Group anunció que la red operó una media de más de 12.000 trenes de pasajeros diarios durante este periodo. Cerca de 700 trenes de alta velocidad circularon durante la noche en rutas clave como Pekín-Shanghái y Pekín-Cantón, y las principales estaciones permanecieron abiertas las 24 horas del día.

Los servicios turísticos también se ampliaron. Pekín puso en marcha un tren especial a Tianjin durante cinco días consecutivos, mientras que el 1 de mayo comenzó a operar un nuevo servicio desde Shangrao, en Jiangxi, hasta la montaña Wuyi, en Fujian. Otras ofertas incluyeron el Nuevo Expreso de Oriente en Xinjiang y el Tren Panda en Sichuan. En total, los operadores pusieron en marcha 68 trenes turísticos entre el 29 de abril y el 5 de mayo.

El 30 de abril se registraron 19,8 millones de viajes, ya que los ciudadanos comenzaron sus desplazamientos antes del inicio oficial del periodo festivo. El sistema respondió al aumento de la demanda añadiendo capacidad en los corredores más concurridos.
