Spring Festival test for transport 春运大考

The National Development and Reform Commission estimates that during the Spring Festival travel period from Jan 24 to March 3, the overall passenger volume nationwide will be 2.91 billion, which would be 3.6 percent higher than that of last year. The ever-increasing passenger volume is extremely challenging to the transport sector nationwide, and the media have called it a "Spring Festival test for transport".

国家发改委预计，今年1月24日至3月3日春运期间，全国旅客发送量将达29.1亿人次，同比增长3.6%。客运量不断增加对国内交通部门来说是巨大的挑战，媒体将之称为“春运大考”。

媒体将春运期间交通部门面临客运量大幅增加的考验称为“春运大考”（Spring Festival test for transport）。
