China's Economic and Trade Commission, jointly with the railway, road, air and other authorities concerned, held a national tele-conference to arrange this year's Spring Festival peak transportation work in Beijing.
During the coming 40-day period around the traditional Spring Festival holidays -- from January 28 to March 8 -- transportation departments will see a total passenger flow of 1.74 billion.
Vice-Minister of Railways Liu Zhijun said that the transportation volume this year will be the biggest in history, and the ministry has arranged 111 pairs of extra trains before the festival and another 154 extra pairs after the festival.
Over one million railway employees are ready to serve the passengers during the peak season, and 50,000 temporary assistants have been trained for the work, said Liu.
Vice-Minister of Communications Hu Xijie said that his ministry has organized 12,100 buses from 17 provinces to help relieve the pressure in Guangdong Province and some other places, which will see the most travelers.
Vice-Minister of Construction Qiu Baoxing said that the urban traffic authorities should see to it that all buses, ships, stations and ports are in good condition.
At the meeting, Shi Wanpeng, vice-minister of the State Economic and Trade Commission, expressed belief that this year's Spring Festival season transportation will be safe and efficient.
