客流高峰多日高位运行！烟台站春节假期运送旅客16.79万人次

Core Insights - The Yantai Railway Bureau has effectively managed transportation capacity and service guarantees during the Spring Festival holiday, transporting a total of 618,000 passengers over the 9-day period, with Yantai Station sending 167,900 passengers, marking a 45.3% increase in daily average compared to the 2025 Spring Festival holiday [1][3]. Passenger Flow Characteristics - The holiday passenger flow exhibited distinct patterns: concentrated return trips before the holiday, increased short-distance travel during the holiday, and overlapping return trips after the holiday [3]. - February 23 (the seventh day of the lunar new year) was identified as the peak day for passenger flow, with Yantai Railway Bureau sending 105,000 passengers on that day [3]. Travel Demand and Destinations - There was strong travel demand both within and outside the province, with popular in-province destinations including Jinan, Qingdao, and Linyi, primarily driven by workers returning to their jobs in Jinan and family visits and short trips to Qingdao and Linyi [3]. - Cross-province travel was concentrated towards Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, and cities in central and western China such as Heze and Xi'an, with business and tourism passenger flows increasing towards Beijing and Shanghai, while labor return flows were concentrated towards Heze and Xi'an [3]. Passenger Composition and Market Trends - The main purposes of travel during the Spring Festival were visiting relatives and tourism, with Yantai's local cultural and tourism market remaining robust, further boosted by the "reverse Spring Festival travel" trend from surrounding cities [3]. - The combination of pre-holiday return trips and post-holiday work and student flows contributed to an increase in holiday passenger volume [3]. Operational Adjustments and Services - Due to the renovation of Yantai South Station, Yantai Station has taken on more high-speed rail passenger flow, leading to a shift from traditional single-day peak values to multi-day high operations, resulting in greater overall transportation pressure compared to previous years [5]. - To ensure safe and orderly travel for passengers, the Yantai Railway Bureau implemented a temporary passenger plan, adding 5.5 pairs of temporary and peak trains during the holiday, focusing on increasing capacity towards Qingdao, Heze, Beijing, and Shanghai [5]. - Comprehensive upgrades to convenience services were introduced, including dedicated ticket windows for the elderly, promotion of limited-time free online ticket refunds, and expansion of quiet carriage coverage to provide targeted assistance for key passengers [5]. Future Plans - The Yantai Railway Bureau will continue to monitor passenger flow before and after the Lantern Festival, dynamically adjusting capacity configurations while maintaining strict safety standards to ensure smooth and orderly passenger transport during the latter half of the Spring Festival [5].
