Zhuo Li, vice-director of emergency response with the Ministry of Transport, said at a news conference on Wednesday that the Spring Festival holiday will lead to a surge in trips. "We estimate that during the 40-day travel rush — from Jan 17 to Feb 25 — trips will outnumber 2021, when 870 million trips were made, and may even be higher than in 2020, when 1.48 billion trips were made."

交通运输部应急办副主任卓立在12月29日的新闻发布会上介绍，全国春运客运量较2021年8.7亿人次将会有较大幅度增长，甚至将超过2020年的14.8亿人次。2022年春运将从1月17日开始，至2月25日结束，共40天。

"We will ask vehicle operators to check travelers' health codes," Zhuo said, adding that the ministry will "strengthen efforts to crack down on illegal behavior on transportation and prevent travelers from being stranded due to inclement weather."
