Record rail passengers expected during National Day holidays

Xinhua, September 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

China is expected to see more than 100 million passengers travel by railways during the coming week-long National Day Holidays from Oct. 1 to 7, the China Railway Corporation said on Wednesday.

The figure reached a record high, up 10 percent year on year, said the company.

A record 13.3 million passengers will take trains on Oct.1, up 13.4 percent from the same day last year thanks to the fast development of China's high-speed rail.

China has 17,000 kilometers of high-speed rail that extends through much of the country, according to the company. Endi
