In 2017, the passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush will reach 2.978 billion, an increase of 2.2% over the previous year.

　　At the 2017 national Spring Festival travel rush video conference held on December 28th, Lian Weiliang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced that the passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush will reach 2.978 billion in 2017, an increase of 63 million or 2.2% over the previous year, and the passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush will reach a new high. Among them, there were 2.52 billion road trips, an increase of 1%; 356 million railway passengers, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%; 58.3 million passenger trips in civil aviation, an increase of 10%; 43.5 million passengers were transported by water, an increase of 2%.

　　The pressure is greater than in previous years, and the transportation capacity has also reached a new high.

　　Although the increase of passenger flow is a low year since 2012, Lian Weiliang believes that the pressure on Spring Festival travel rush in 2017 is greater than that in previous years, mainly in four aspects.

　　First, the peak is early and the peak is high. In 2017, Spring Festival travel rush is the earliest Spring Festival travel rush in the past five years, with student flow and work flow superimposed on each other, and the peak of passenger flow comes earlier, lasts longer and has a high peak.

　　The second is the pressure of passenger and cargo transportation. Since the beginning of winter, the demand for transportation of electric coal, grain and other goods is obviously stronger than in previous years. It is very difficult to protect both customers and key materials during Spring Festival travel rush.

　　Third, there are many abnormal weather factors. According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the meteorological conditions in Spring Festival travel rush are more complicated than in previous years, which will have some impact on the order of Spring Festival travel rush.

　　Fourth, the pressure of safe operation has increased. Large passenger flow, traffic flow and bad weather further increase the traffic safety risk. In view of the demand of Spring Festival travel rush with early peak hours and large passenger flow, both land and water are ready, and sufficient transport capacity is prepared.

　　Additional chartered cars and boats were set up on highways and waterways. According to Liu Xiaoming, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Transport, Spring Festival travel rush will adjust the departure density of buses, buses and urban rail transit in time according to the change of passenger flow, and increase the number of urban and rural buses. Postal express delivery enterprises should ensure "no stop, no rejection and no backlog" before the Spring Festival to provide protection for holiday supply.

　　Railway transport capacity hit a record high. Li Wenxin, deputy general manager of China Railway Corporation, said that the railway will take measures such as reconnecting the popular line EMUs, reducing the maintenance rate of EMUs, replacing hard seats with hard sleepers, and adding high-speed trains at night during peak transportation hours to maximize the supply of passenger capacity.

　　Urban traffic connects train information to prevent passengers from staying at the railway station.

　　Whether the transfer is smooth or not is the key to determine the efficiency of passengers’ travel. In rush hour and bad weather, different modes of transportation complement each other, making it easier for passengers to go home, which is expected to become the highlight of Spring Festival travel rush in the Year of the Rooster.

　　Pay more attention to the coordination between modes of transportation. "Heavy snow and foggy weather, roads and civil aviation can’t go, and railways are a supplement; During peak hours, the railway capacity is not enough, the roads should be topped up, and various modes of transportation can meet the travel needs. " Lian Weiliang said.

　　Pay more attention to the connection between trunk traffic and urban traffic. In the past, after the number of trains was added, it was inevitable that the urban traffic connection was not smooth, which led to the dilemma of passengers stranded in the railway station. This year, the "last mile" to go home was opened.

　　According to Liu Xiaoming, at the beginning of December, the Ministry of Transport and the Railway Corporation jointly issued a notice, docking the information of 2010 stops of 364 pairs of trains with additional or changed running lines, the information of planned train stops of 108 stations and the demand for connecting 465 night trains one by one. "The transportation department and the railway system will improve ‘ The first and last mile ’ Travel efficiency. "

　　Spring Festival travel rush’s service is also expected to continue to improve. The main railway stations will set up medical service points to improve the quality of railway services; On the highway side, the bus terminal above the second level connected with the railway will open the waiting room 24 hours a day and provide free boiled water; Civil aviation will focus on solving the shortcomings of ticketing, baggage, flight delay and information notification during passenger travel, and do a good job in delay handling and passenger service in bad weather such as snow, ice and fog to avoid mass incidents due to flight delays.

　　Combating scalping and coordinating the two battlefields online and offline.

　　Recently, a major traffic accident occurred in Ezhou, Hubei Province on December 2, and a number of serious accident symptoms and unsafe incidents … … The safety accidents in the transportation industry have sounded the alarm for the safety of Spring Festival travel rush, and the transportation safety situation is not optimistic.

　　"Ensuring the security of Spring Festival travel rush is the primary goal of doing a good job in Spring Festival travel rush." Fu Jianhua, deputy director of the State Administration of Work Safety, said that all kinds of serious illegal acts during Spring Festival travel rush would be severely investigated. For serious violations of laws and regulations that occurred during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, such as speeding and overcrowding of passenger vehicles, illegal manned trucks and overcrowding of passenger ships, it is necessary to strictly implement the seizure and revocation of licenses, as well as the "four unifications" law enforcement measures such as suspension of production for rectification, upper-limit punishment, closure and ban, and strict accountability.

　　Liu Xiaoming also said that in Spring Festival travel rush in the Year of the Rooster, it is strictly forbidden for bus drivers with a driver’s license of 12 points to participate in Spring Festival travel rush. Passenger transport enterprises that have suffered many traffic accidents this year should be given a "yellow card" and put forward feasible rectification measures within a time limit before they can participate in Spring Festival travel rush.

　　At present, public security organs at all levels are focusing on cracking down on theft, robbery and fraud. Li Wei, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, said that during his stay in Spring Festival travel rush, five "strike hard" actions will also be carried out around illegal and criminal actions that affect people’s travel safety.

　　First, crack down on the evil forces at the passenger station. For those who forcibly solicit customers, extort passengers, dominate the streets and occupy roads, and disrupt the traffic in stations and cities, we should organize our forces to concentrate on cracking down and arrest a number of criminals who are entrenched in passenger stations.

　　The second is to severely crack down on road bandits and road bullies, and to organize plainclothes squads to fight with cars in key areas and key routes.

　　The third is to severely crack down on illegal acts that undermine civil aviation flights. Illegal acts that seriously endanger aviation safety, such as smoking on the plane, turning on the mobile phone and opening the emergency hatch, should be dealt with strictly, quickly and severely according to law.

　　The fourth is to severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities that seriously endanger the safety of railway operation. Threatening to commit arson, explosion, throwing dangerous substances to disturb the order of railway operation, and engaging in illegal and criminal acts that affect the safe operation of trains on high-speed rail should be discovered in time and severely cracked down.

　　Fifth, in view of the new characteristics of scalping activities, coordinate the two battlefields online and offline, and severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities of scalping.
