Yesterday, the second day of China’s National Day holiday, cross‑region mobility
exceeded 300 million person‑trips, with short‑ and medium‑distance travel rising
notably. Road movements accounted for over 280 million person‑trips nationwide;
highway traffic remained elevated and travel was dominated by inter‑scenic
roaming and short intra‑regional transfers. Railways carried about 20.4 million
passengers as multiple regional rail authorities increased intercity service
frequency to accommodate concentrated short‑haul holiday demand and release
additional transport capacity.
