BEIJING: There will be no peak period during this year’s 40-day Spring Festival travel rush, which will end today, due to the ongoing Covid-19 (novel coronavirus), the Ministry of Transport said.
Because of measures taken to curb the epidemic, passenger trips in the 40 days from Jan 10 to today are expected to be less than half the number in the 40-day travel rush last year, with the decrease especially sharp during the return leg that started on Jan 25, Vice-Minister of Transport Liu Xiaoming said.
