As of 8 o'clock on the 28th.
Guiyang North Railway Station sent 35,900 passengers on the first day of Spring Festival travel. Last year, the number of passengers sent on the first day of Spring Festival travel was 66,000, a
decrease of about 45% compared to last year
. The decline is quite obvious.
Q:
Dong Qian:
How is the capacity guaranteed for Guiyang highway passenger transport?
A:
Yin Ping:
From the various high-speed rail stations in Guizhou, if you want to return to your hometown in the county or township, the car must be the main tool.
We also learned from the largest bus terminal in Guiyang on the 28th that due to the need for prevention and control, road passenger traffic during the Spring Festival this year is expected to drop by about 40% compared with the same period last year.
Please rest assured in this regard. Passenger capacity must be guaranteed.
As long as you come from a low-risk area and the health code you show is green, you can get on the bus at any time and go home at any time.
Q:
Dong Qian:
How about the Spring Festival transportation at Hangzhou East Railway Station?
A:
Liang Ye: The
waiting hall is empty.
It can be seen through the lens that there is almost no one in the waiting hall now.
The busiest area became deserted.
Ticket gate 28B used to be the busiest area during the Spring Festival travel season because it was the ticket gate for ordinary-speed trains, and many migrant workers entered the platform from here carrying large bags.
The data has dropped significantly.
According to the data released by the railway department, the number
of passengers sent by Hangzhou East Railway Station on the 28th was only 75,000, which was 65% of the same day last year,
and the number of outages reached more than 150.
Zhejiang Province is the second largest province for migrant workers in the country, with more than 21 million migrant workers. This kind of Spring Festival travel has never happened before.
Q:
Dong Qian: During the
Spring Festival, what is necessary and must remind everyone?
A
:
Liang Ye:
For passengers traveling, especially those traveling from Hangzhou East Railway Station, there are three points that must be reminded.
(1) Pay attention to the number of trips.
Because the entire trips in these two days are constantly changing, and some have been suspended.
(2) If passengers want to transit through Hangzhou East Railway Station, they need to re-enter the station after exiting the station before re-security and epidemic inspection.
(3)
No-washing hand sanitizer and alcohol disinfectant spray are not allowed on high-speed rail
.
At the security checkpoint of Hangzhou East Railway Station, you can express it home through an independent express cabinet.
Q:
Dong Qian: What is
the overall situation of the country?
A:
Qiang Lixia: The
28th is the first day of the Spring Festival. The national railways are expected to send 4 million passengers. Last year, the number of passengers sent on the first day of the Spring Festival was 11.73 million, a decrease of 66%
year-on-year
. The
passenger flow was only about 30
% of
last year.
According to changes in passenger flow, the railway department adjusted the train operation plan in a timely manner. On the 28th, the national railway plans to arrange 6,595 passenger trains, which is 3307 fewer than the first day of the Spring Festival Transport in 2020, a
33% year-on-year decrease.
Q:
Dong Qian:
What are the reasons for the suspension of some trains?
What about passengers?
A:
Qiang Lixia: The
reason is still to implement the epidemic prevention and control requirements, to respond to the country's local New Year call, and also because of the overall decline in passenger traffic this year.
Therefore, in accordance with the epidemic prevention and control situation and changes in passenger flow, the railway department dynamically adjusted some passengers on the basis of the "three guarantees" (guaranteeing passenger travel needs, ensuring the basic scale of passenger train operation, and ensuring the main directions and accessibility of various regions). In the train operation plan, some passenger trains were suspended.
For passengers who have purchased tickets for suspended trains, our
railway department has also arranged a full refund. Passengers can change their tickets
or purchase tickets for other trains in the same direction.
In the next step, we will accurately and flexibly arrange passenger capacity according to actual passenger flow changes to meet the travel needs of passengers.
Q:
Dong Qian:
How to guarantee the transportation during the Spring Festival?
A:
Qiang Lixia:
Because the weather this year is relatively cold, this also puts forward higher requirements for the railway department in the transportation of materials and electric coal during festivals.
We must give full play to the advantages of the
most modern railway network, the most developed high-speed railway network, and the unified dispatch and command of the national railways
. In particular, we must do a good job in the freight capacity released after the adjustment of passenger cars, make full use of them, and focus on strengthening the holiday supplies , The transportation of anti-epidemic materials, electric coal and China-Europe Express trains will spare no effort to ensure the people’s holiday life needs and warm winter.
