On 8 february, a total of 1,3. 25 million passengers were scheduled to be transported by the national railway, with 1688 passenger trains planned, including a night train at the main high-level corridors, such as kyoto, kyouta and kyonha, and a minimum discount of 2 per cent for some non-hot line tickets in the spring, providing more options for passengers to travel。
During the spring transport, rail passenger flows had a clear one-way feature. The railway sector fully utilizes the market-based fare mechanism by introducing discounts on some non-hot routes, with a minimum discount of 20 per cent, both to increase the benefits to travellers, to diversify their options for travel, and to effectively regulate the flow of passengers through price leverage, to channel them to the wrong peaks, to promote the full utilization of rail transport resources, and to promote a “dipline” and more balanced flow of spring passengers。
For example, before the festival, from 10 to 16 february, k822 ksinyang to shenzhen were given a discount of $22. 5 and a full trip of $42. 5; from 11 to 14 february, d4420 were given a full discount of $149 and from 11 to 14 february, and from 12 to 13 february, g4404 were given a full discount and a full trip of $76; after the festival, from 20 to 22 february, k4041 were given a full discount of $103. 5 for beijing to jilin, and from 20 to 21 february, g4945 were given a full discount of 2. 7 and a full trip of 244 for nan kong to guiyang ii。
As at 0800 hours on 8 february, railways had accumulated more than 150 million tickets during spring shipping, and had begun selling tickets on 22 february (on the sixth day of the first month of the agricultural calendar), with more tickets remaining for the pre- and post-salary part of the train。
