Guangzhou Railway's 52.2 million passengers in July and the railway passenger flow will continue to climb in August

According to China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., from July 1 to the full moon on July 31, 356 million passengers were sent by railways nationwide, an increase of 10.4% over the same period last year. As of July 31, Guangzhou Bureau Group Company had sent 52.2 million passengers, with an average of 1.684 million passengers per day, an increase of 16.1% over the previous year, a record high.

In July, the passenger flow of National Railways exceeded 10 million passengers for 31 consecutive days. Among them, the number of passengers on July 6 reached 12.739 million, which is the current peak day of passenger flow, an increase of 449,000 compared with last summer peak day. Urumqi, Guangzhou and Chengdu Bureau Group increased passenger traffic by 19.1%, 16.1% and 15.6%, respectively.

The number of EMU and high-speed rail passenger transmissions increased strongly. In July, a total of 221 million passengers were sent by EMU trains, an increase of 17.2% over the previous year. The average number of passengers sent by EMU trains per day was 7.14 million, accounting for 62.1% of the total number of passengers sent by railways in China. The peak daily passenger arrivals of Guizhou-Guangzhou and Chengdu-Guizhou high-speed trains are 269,000 and 90,000 respectively, which have all set new historical records.

In August, railway passenger flow will continue to climb. On the one hand, tourism and family visits will enter the peak of the return journey; on the other hand, some colleges and universities will start school one after another, and the student flow will continue until early September. In order to cope with the peak passenger flow, the railway department further improves its capacity by adding passenger arrivals and re-connecting operation. Major passenger stations open "green corridors" to facilitate special passengers such as less than 20 minutes away from driving time and inconvenience in movement. At the same time, they are adequately prepared to meet the peak passenger flow in the second half of summer transport.

Railway ticketing system shows that as of 17:00 on August 1, tickets to Fuzhou, Xiamen, Chengdu and Chongqing, Guiyang, Kunming and other popular tourist destinations in Guangzhou and Shenzhen have been basically sold out. On August 5 and subsequent dates, all directions have different degrees of spare tickets.
