Transportation boom expected in China

Chinese New Year is approaching, and the Chinese authorities are already warning about possible transport problems. About 3.6 billion trips are expected during the holidays. New Year celebrations in China last up to 40 days. At this time, there is the largest internal population migration in the world. Compared to last year, the number of trips will increase by about 200 million. China’s transportation system is overloaded, with many people putting a lot of effort into getting the right transport ticket.

This year, the holiday is scheduled for January 31. It is the most important traditional holiday in China. For many Chinese workers, this is their only chance to visit their family this year. Students also take advantage of the opportunity to go home. Even at this time, there is always a peak of tourist activity due to long weekends.
