Jinyun News:"I set off this morning, taking the high-speed train from Tangshan to Tianjin Railway Station for more than half an hour, transferring to the subway for 30 minutes, and taking more than an hour from home to the airport, and the check-in was also very smooth. Although there were a lot of people, it was a smooth journey. On the morning of February 16, at Tianjin Binhai International Airport, Ms. Tian, a citizen of Tangshan, was resting and waiting. Although it has entered the peak of return, after a break during the Spring Festival holiday, many citizens and tourists who are waiting for boarding do not have panicked looks on their faces, and there are many passengers in an orderly manner.
The Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, and the major transportation hubs of civil aviation, railways and highways will usher in the peak of return passenger flow from today (16th).
Since Chinese New Year's Eve, Tianjin Airport has had more than 400,000 passengers, and with the return peak, Tianjin Airport's single-day passenger flow is expected to exceed 64,000. In order to cope with the return peak, Tan Chang, a check-in officer of the passenger transport department of Tianjin Binhai Airport, told reporters: "We will conduct a full-day pre-inspection of the next day's flight the day before, mainly for special passengers such as the elderly and children, and we will book a seat for him in advance, because the passenger load rate is relatively high now, so as not to allow the elderly and children to arrive at the counter, and the seats cannot sit together." Since Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia are all visa-free, there have been more family trips abroad recently, and we will also conduct pre-checks. We have opened an additional team counter H06 during peak passenger hours. Late arrivals will open dual aisles at the H09 and H10 counters, and we will also issue warm reminder cards to late arrivals on the spot, indicating their current location and the location of their boarding gates, and guide them to the fast security check channel to help passengers make their trip. ”
For returning peak passengers, Tan Chang gave her professional advice: "Because the number of return peak passengers is relatively large now, it is recommended that returning passengers must arrive at the airport early, at least 2 hours before the flight takes off, so as not to delay the trip." ”
This year's Spring Festival holiday is longer, the flow of travel and visiting relatives during the festival is obvious, and the return passenger flow in the last few days of the festival is superimposed, starting from February 13, Tianjin Railway Station and its stations have a daily arrival of more than 140,000 passengers, and it is expected that the 15th-17th will be the peak day of arrival, including more than 90,000 people at Tianjin Railway Station and more than 60,000 people at Tianjin West Railway Station. After the 18th, there will be a plateau, and there will be a small peak after the 15th day of the first lunar month, mainly the flow of students at the beginning of the school year.
As the number of passengers arriving in Tianjin will increase significantly in the next few days, all stations in the city will also provide good services. Tang Xuxin, deputy director of the Tianjin West Passenger Transport Workshop of Tianjin Railway Station, said: "In a total of 40 days of Spring Festival transportation this year, Tianjin West Railway Station is expected to send a total of 2 million passengers, with a daily average of 50,000, a year-on-year increase of 11120,000 increased by 8880,000, an increase of 79%. During the Spring Festival, the passenger flow is relatively stable, mainly for tourism and family visits. After the holiday, the flow of tourists returning to Tianjin is dominated by the flow of students returning to school, visiting relatives, working and doing business. It is estimated that 17 days after the holiday, Tianjin West Railway Station will send 1.16 million passengers, an increase of 45% compared with 202330,000, an increase of 64%. The peak days of Tianjin West Railway Station are expected to be February 18 and 25 (the ninth and sixteenth days of the first lunar month), and 55 to 630,000, an increase of about 20,000 or 62% over 2023. ”
In order to do a good job in the organization of the return passenger flow, the first is to increase the number of passengers, Jiagedaqi to Tianjin Station, Taiyuan South to Tianjin West to increase the number of passengers, at the same time, Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Northeast train capacity has also increased. The second is to strengthen the strength of the personnel at the platform and exit, open all the turnstiles at the exit, strengthen publicity and guidance, and ensure that passengers leave the station in a safe and orderly manner. ”
Chen Chang, deputy general manager of the operation division of the high-speed group, told reporters that the free time for small passenger cars with 7 seats and below on the expressway during the Spring Festival in 2024 is from February 9 to 17, and the traffic volume of the section of the high-speed group is showing a trend of rising day by day. At the beginning of the first month.
In the first and second days of the first year, the traffic flow of the road network was relatively stable, since the beginning.

Since the beginning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the traffic flow of short-distance travel and visiting relatives has grown rapidly, mainly out of the province, among which the Beijing-Hebei Expressway, Rongwu Expressway, Changshen Expressway, Beijing-Shi Expressway, Beijing-Shanghai Expressway and Beijing-Tianjin Expressway have higher traffic flow, and the growth is more obvious, reaching about 4 to 50,000 vehicles per road section. Since the third day of the Lunar New Year, the average daily traffic of the overall section of the expressway group has reached about 500,000 vehicles, an increase of 26% compared with 2023.

During the return journey, the high-speed group reminded the public to pay attention to the fact that the last time the vehicle entered the expressway, it entered through the ETC lane, or through the lane for passenger cars with 7 seats and below. If you enter through the ETC lane, you will exit directly through the ETC lane. If you are entering from a free lane, you need to exit from the exit lane for passenger cars with 7 seats or less. If you encounter some lane warnings or congestion, you can choose to pass through the artificial lane during the free period. Secondly, the public is reminded to check the ETC device before traveling, check the balance of the bank card and the status of the ETC device, and communicate with the bank whether the IC card in the device is within the validity period. When the owner drives a vehicle with an on-board electronic tag into the ETC lane, please insert the ETC co-branded card into the electronic tag, and the electronic tag display works normally before the vehicle can enter the ETC lane. Finally, remind everyone that the free deadline for small passenger cars on the Spring Festival Expressway for 7 seats and below is 24:00 on February 17, and the public needs to arrange the itinerary reasonably, and can reduce the corresponding high-speed tolls from the nearby toll station before the free deadline, and keep a safe distance from the car in front when driving out to ensure safe driving.
