During the Spring Festival, the Municipal Road Transport Service Center, through its careful planning, strengthened supervision, inspection and industry monitoring, created for all passengers a safe and smooth, harmonious and orderly travel environment with no passenger safety accidents in road transport and no passengers stranded.
From January 21 to 27, a total of 2.059 million passengers travelled by road transport in this city, up 46.31% over the same period of last year. To break it down, 101 passenger lines, using 1,796 vehicles, sent 11.8 million passengers, up 24.69% over the same period of last year; 44 bus lines, using 416 buses, sent 1.7535 million, up 51.82% over the same period of last year; and 520 cruising taxis and 196 cars hailed online sent 13.44 million, unchanged from a year ago.
As the epidemic management was downgraded from Class A to Class B, this Spring Festival became the first one to experience the optimized measures of epidemic control. As a result, cross-regional people flow enjoyed an increasingly quick increase and traffic witnessed an increasingly fast rebound from its low level. Transportation tasks of key materials including for energy, healthcare and people’s well-being were arduous. The work group on the travel rush set up by the Municipal Road Transport Service Center, with a careful study on the situation, strengthened business guidance and safety supervision of passenger and freight transport enterprises, strived to ensure that all measures were ready, responsibilities were fulfilled, inspections were in place and implementations were thorough. At the same time, the city's passenger and freight transport stations and practitioners were urged to strictly implement the relevant epidemic control measures with strict ventilation and disinfection at the stations to ensure the health of passengers and their travel safety.
