[Passenger flow across the country continues to run at a high level on the fourth day of the holiday, and transportation departments take multiple measures to ensure travel] October 4th, on the fourth day of the National Day holiday, passenger flow across the country continues to run at a high level. Railways, highways, waterways and other departments have promptly increased transport capacity and optimized services to ensure safe and smooth travel for passengers. Today, the country's railways carried 19.273 million passengers, a year-on-year increase of 6.1%. The passenger flow of short and medium distances has increased significantly. Railway departments in many places have cooperated with local cultural and tourism departments to set up "tourist service centers" at exits to provide passengers with services such as ticket purchase for popular attractions, tour guide consultation, and transportation connections to scenic spots. At the same time, for popular directions, transportation capacity will be increased by reconnecting EMUs, adding temporary passenger trains, and adding night high-speed trains. In terms of highways, inter-provincial travel and new energy vehicle traffic continued to grow. According to research and judgment, there are 33 highway sections across the country prone to congestion, mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Hunan, Zhejiang and other provinces. The transportation department temporarily opens emergency passages based on traffic flow and road emergencies. As for waterways, the passenger volume on waterways is expected to exceed 1.95 million today. Island tours, city sightseeing tours, and cruise tourist flows continue to maintain high levels. The maritime department uses the smart maritime platform to track ship trajectories, implement ship tracking and patrol boat escorts on key routes, and make every effort to ensure the safety of water travel.
