Railway construction in our province has made rapid progress since this year. In August, Shanghe-Hefei-Hangzhou High-speed Railway North Section and Zhengzhou-Fujian High-speed Railway Anhui Section were formally jointly commissioned and tested, and further progress was made towards the opening of operation at the end of the year. In the past 70 years, the transportation infrastructure of our province has been accelerated into a network, and the comprehensive transportation support capacity has been greatly improved. The Yangtze River Delta has formed the most intensive railway network in the country, with 8% of the country's railway business mileage and 20% of the country's passenger traffic. As a member of the Yangtze River Delta, Anhui Railway is writing a brilliant answer to the era of butterfly change. A 6031 A 6031 70 years ago, there was only one railway line on Huainan Railway in our province. The equipment was outdated and backward, the technical standard was low, and the average train speed was only about 30 kilometers per hour. In September 1996, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway was opened to traffic, and Fuyang became a railway hub. Entering the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, railway development has made historic breakthroughs.

In 2015, the Hefei-Fujian high-speed railway opened and operated, and the time for Hefei to "go south" was shortened again. A 6031 A 6031 Anhui is pressing the "Fast Forward" button. The high-speed rail in Anhui is crisscrossing, and its density ranks first in East China. The "Friends Circle" of Hefei High-speed Railway is becoming larger and larger. It has formed a regional comprehensive transportation network with fast passenger railway as its main framework. It has direct train links with more than 20 provincial capitals (including autonomous regions) and 4 municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the impact of economic radiation has been further expanded. Over the past 70 years, railway ticket sales have reflected the development and changes of railway passenger transport from hard board tickets, soft paper tickets, magnetic intermediary tickets to ID card brushing, from manual tickets to online tickets and electronic tickets.
