The reporter learned from China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd. that the spring transportation in 2022 will be launched on January 17. Under the guidance of the policies of off peak school, home and post return and off peak travel, it is expected that the overall travel demand of the Yangtze River Delta Railway Spring Festival transportation will be restrained. It is expected to send 50 million passengers in 40 days, a year-on-year increase of 16% and an average of 1.25 million passengers per day.

According to the introduction, from the current pre-sale of Spring Festival transportation tickets, the basic travel needs such as the flow of students, migrant workers and family visits of the Yangtze River Delta Railway Spring Festival transportation will still maintain a certain scale.
