Beijing Subways Ready for Holiday's Travel Peak

The subway network of this national capital will haul approximately 15.05 million travels during the upcoming National Day holiday that will begin from October 1.

An official with the Beijing Municipal Subway Operation Corporation sets the daily passenger transport volume via the subway network during the seven-day holiday period at 2.15 million journeys, and the travel peak might occur on October 1, with 2.6 million travels.

To ensure a normal operation of the subway system, the Beijing Municipal Subway Operation Corporation have got all trains currently used for transportation checked thoroughly and have had 14 other trains in reserve, said the official.

In the meantime, the corporation is also expected to prolong the current service time on all the four subway lines by 35 minutes to 80 minutes to cope with the rising need of passengers for travels during the national holiday season.
