CCTV News (News Network): On the third day of the Spring Festival travel rush, the flow of personnel continues to rise. Transportation and other departments have taken a number of measures to ensure smooth travel for the people and stable and orderly transportation.
Data from the 2025 Comprehensive Transport Spring Festival Travel Work Team showed that on January 16, the cross-regional personnel flow in the whole society was estimated to be 194.4 million, of which 11.6 million were railway passenger traffic. In view of the situation where there are many tourists traveling with children during the Spring Festival travel rush, Yan'an Station, Ganzhou West Station and other stations have specially set up children's playgrounds.
The flow of highway personnel is expected to exceed 180 million on January 16, and the proportion of long-distance travel across provinces and regions has increased significantly compared with usual conditions. Before the holiday, the movement of people mainly involves migration of megacities and provincial capitals to surrounding cities and major labor export provinces and cities. As the proportion of new energy vehicle travel gradually increases, transportation, electricity and other departments provide charging convenience for new energy vehicle owners by adding mobile charging cars.
In terms of water transportation, in order to alleviate the tension between new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, during this year's Spring Festival travel rush, two special transport flatbed cargo ships for new energy vehicles officially sailed on the route from Zhanjiang Hai'an New Port to Haikou Xiuying Port. The loading method was adopted, which greatly facilitated new energy vehicle owners to board the boat and saved drivers and passengers' ride time.
