The 40-day Spring Festival travel rush (Chunyun) in 2019 will be from January 21 to March 1. During Chunyun, it is estimated that the transportation systems in Changzhou will have 4.227 million passengers, an increase of 5.2% over last year.

This year's Spring Festival is 11 days earlier than last year. it is a long-held tradition for most Chinese people to reunite with their families during Chinese New Year. People return home from work or study to have Reunion dinner with their families on New Year's Eve. The peak of the travel rush is slated to happen from February 1 to 3, and the passenger flow will be relatively stable after the holiday.

To ease the tremendous pressure caused by the holiday crowd, the Municipal Bureau of Transport set up a network covering the city's transportation systems, which will scientifically predict passenger flow and dispatch resources accordingly, optimize intercity transportation modes of railway, highway and civil aviation, and ensure backup services of extra night shift buses, shuttle buses and tailored taxi services.
