Jiangsu’s railway network recorded 900,000 passenger trips on January 14, the first day of chunyun, the Spring Festival travel rush, with 720 passenger trains in service.    

The 40-day travel period, which will continue until February 22, is expected to see an increase in travels by students, families, migrant workers, and tourists. In response, railway authorities have enhanced transport capacity in key directions and added trains to popular tourist destinations and transportation hubs.  

Efforts to improve passenger experience include providing thoughtful services. For example, Yancheng Station has designated special lanes for the elderly, children, the sick, the disabled, pregnant women, and those with less than 15 minutes before train departure. Yangzhou Station has renovated its four public toilets, incorporating both infrastructure updates and the use of a smart display and monitoring system.
