The scale of Spring Festival travel during the 2025 Spring Festival travel rush is expected to reach a historical high, and multiple parties are working together to meet travel demand

     On January 8th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the situation and work arrangements for the 2025 Spring Festival travel rush. This year's Spring Festival travel rush starts on January 14th and ends on February 22nd, lasting for 40 days. According to transportation and other departments, it is estimated that the cross regional personnel flow in the whole society will reach 9 billion people. From the perspective of travel structure, self driving travel will remain the mainstay, expected to reach 7.2 billion people, accounting for about 80% of the cross regional personnel flow in the whole society. The peak daily traffic volume on highways may reach a historical high. From the perspective of spatial and temporal distribution, this year's Spring Festival is earlier than previous years. Before and after the Spring Festival, there will be a combination of four types of passenger flows, including students, migrant workers, family visits, and tourism, with a high degree of concentration. The urban agglomerations of Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong Hong Kong Macao, and Chengdu Chongqing are still the main concentration areas of passenger flow.

     Transportation, railway, civil aviation and other departments will strengthen the analysis of passenger demand, fully tap into transportation potential, coordinate and allocate transportation capacity, and ensure the transportation of important energy materials such as coal, daily necessities such as grain, holiday commodities, spring plowing and other materials.
