The year of 20 15 begins in Spring Festival travel rush on February 4th and ends on March 6th. According to reports, during the 40-day population migration, the number of tourists sent nationwide is expected to reach 2.807 billion.

Compared with 20 14, it increased by 20 14, an increase of 3.4%, and the average daily passenger flow reached 70 million. Among them, the number of road passengers will reach 2.42 billion, an increase of 2.5%; Railway trips were about 295 million person-times, an increase of10%; About 44.3 million passengers were transported by water, an increase of 2%; There were about 47.5 million civil aviation passengers, an increase of 8%. The number of passengers is the highest in the past years, and the input of transportation capacity is the highest in the past years, but the "one ticket is hard to find" has not been fundamentally alleviated. Before the start of Spring Festival travel rush, migrant workers and students had already played the prelude to the return of the railway to Spring Festival travel rush.

The annual "Spring Festival travel rush Peak" has begun. So, do you know the origin of "Spring Festival travel rush fever"?

"Spring Festival travel rush fever" is called the largest and most periodic human migration in human history. Only one country in the world has unprecedented population transportation like Spring Festival travel rush, and that is advanced China.

The peak in Spring Festival travel rush was recorded by the Ministry of Railways from 1954, but the passenger flow was far less than today, with an average daily passenger flow of 730,000 and a peak passenger flow of 900,000, which lasted for 15 days around Spring Festival travel rush. After 80s, a large number of migrant workers went out, and Spring Festival travel rush craze became a social hotspot.

Spring Festival travel rush peak is a large-scale high traffic pressure phenomenon in China around the Lunar New Year. It is understood that the time of Spring Festival travel rush peak in China is determined as follows: with Spring Festival travel rush as the boundary, the State Economic and Trade Commission has uniformly issued the pre-holiday 15 days, post-holiday 25 days and post-holiday 40 days, and the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications and the Civil Aviation Administration have made special transportation arrangements according to this time period, and the national * * * transportation peak is called Spring Festival travel rush peak. During their stay in Spring Festival travel rush, the transportation departments, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security should take measures and make every effort to ensure that passengers can take a good road. In particular, the Ministry of Railways should implement special operation charts and increase a large number of temporary passenger cars. Generally speaking, Spring Festival travel rush refers to the inter-city traffic in Chinese mainland, excluding the traffic between Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Macau and international traffic.

In about 40 days, nearly 3 billion people migrated, accounting for 3/7 of the world's population (about 7 billion people), equivalent to two major migrations in the country. At the Spring Festival travel rush Peak, China was selected as the world's largest periodic transportation peak in world record association, creating a number of the best in the world and the best in China.

The colloquial word "Spring Festival travel rush Peak" has two meanings, one is the traffic phenomenon around the Spring Festival, and the other is the abbreviation of "Spring Festival travel rush Peak". The crowds in Spring Festival travel rush are so big that the traffic in Chinese mainland is unbearable. In order to solve the problem of Spring Festival travel rush Peak, China has to deploy ahead of schedule every year, but it still can't meet the requirements of Spring Festival travel rush Peak. The pre-holiday transportation arrangement in Spring Festival travel rush usually starts from the twelfth lunar month (16) every year. At that time, migrant workers began to have a holiday and returned to their hometown by means of transportation. Post-holiday transportation arrangements in Spring Festival travel rush Middle School begin on the fourth day of the first month of each year, and migrant workers return to their jobs. With the newly implemented holiday arrangement on 20 16, and many migrant workers are worried that it is becoming more and more difficult to find jobs in economically developed areas, the time to return to work or employment areas after the holiday is earlier than before, and some people have left home in the third year. During Spring Festival travel rush, China Railway Corporation implemented special operation management and added a large number of temporary passenger cars.

In the evening of 20 15 in Spring Festival travel rush, it is expected that the passenger flow will be relatively stable before the holiday, but there will be a peak of return passenger flow after the holiday, with students returning to school, migrant workers returning to their posts, visiting relatives and tourists returning home, and the passenger flow will be superimposed. It is predicted that during the period of Spring Festival travel rush this year, there will be places where passenger flow is concentrated in some areas. Before the holiday, Guangdong, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other provinces imported more labor, and after the holiday, Sichuan, Henan, Hubei, Guangxi and other provinces exported more labor. At the same time, the short-distance passenger flow will increase significantly, the passenger flow between some inland cities and surrounding areas will increase significantly, and the proportion of short-distance passenger flow will increase significantly. In addition, during the Spring Festival, a large number of migrant workers returned home from cities, and the demand for visiting relatives and friends, temple fairs and fairs increased. Obviously higher than usual, the passenger flow in rural areas will increase greatly.

According to the characteristics of passenger flow change and flow direction during the peak period in Spring Festival travel rush this year, transportation departments all over the country have increased their capacity input. It is understood that during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the railway arranged to operate 2,673.5 pairs of passenger trains, and 476 pairs and 5 15 pairs were added before and after the festival respectively, and the capacity arrangement was the highest in the past years; About 850,000 passenger cars and 2 1 10,000 seats were put into the national roads; More than 22,000 passenger ships will be put into the waterway, with nearly 900,000 passengers; In terms of civil aviation, it is estimated that about1.2000 overtime flights will be arranged on domestic routes on the basis of nearly 53000 scheduled flights per week. In addition, during the period from February 5 to March 5, airlines on both sides of the strait will not work overtime in limited time at other 46 destinations except Beijing, Shanghai Pudong, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou.

From 20 14 12 1, the pre-sale period of railway internet ticketing and telephone booking will be gradually extended from the current 20 days to 60 days.

In order to let the migrant workers' brothers go home for reunion as soon as possible, railway stations all over the country will adopt flexible transportation schemes, adjust train operation sections in time and open temporary trains. Before the start of Spring Festival travel rush, the through train and through train tickets after the 30th of this month were sold at the station 20 days in advance. At the same time, in order to prevent illegal elements from scalping tickets, the station launched a group ticketing service. According to the principle of "same date, same train, same direction, same seat", passengers can buy 20 tickets at a time by presenting the unit certificate audited and stamped by the local labor department. The station also launched telephone booking and door-to-door delivery services for universities scattered in other regions, which brought a warm current to the students.

There is money and no money to go home for the New Year, and there is a New Year's Eve dinner at home. China people's family values are not as strong as those of westerners. By the Spring Festival, most people outside want to go home, especially migrant workers. It seems normal, but it is not. Because this kind of complex is so strong that they would rather endure the torture of the journey and go home, which reflects their hardships outside, and reflects that except for the places written in the household registration book, they are all temporary residences designated by temporary residence permits!

Every year in Spring Festival travel rush, railway transportation is the top priority. China Railway Corporation adopts three sets of capacity schemes: basic scheme, preparatory scheme and emergency scheme to deal with normal passenger flow, peak passenger flow and sudden passenger flow respectively. Nowadays, in order to alleviate the pressure of ticket purchase, China Railway Corporation has implemented real-name registration system to purchase tickets, and dispersed the people who buy tickets through various channels such as windows, internet and telephone, so that the situation of "one ticket is hard to find" will be alleviated.

Spring Festival travel rush is a proper noun of China and a characteristic of China. Spring Festival travel rush is the performance and characteristic of China's sustained economic development; Spring Festival travel rush Peak is a protracted war.

While Spring Festival travel rush is still going on, people who go home should really plan ahead, get on the road safely, get home safely and have a happy New Year.

In addition, during the Spring Festival holiday this year, the national toll roads will continue to implement the face-to-face charging policy for minibuses. Passenger vehicles with 7 seats or less and motorcycles allowed to run on ordinary toll roads are free to pass from 0: 00 on February 18 to 24: 00 on February 24. (Author: Chen Jingsheng)
