On the same day and the next day, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will also run seven high-speed trains to Guangxi, so that more motorcycle enthusiasts can bid farewell to their motorcycle trips and take the high-speed train home safely and quickly.
This year, on the road of rushing to Spring Festival travel rush, Foshan, Zhaoqing and other "motorcyclists" must pass by. The long queues of motorcycles that used to be filled with smoke and whizzing all the way disappeared, and the traffic accidents caused by motorcycles also decreased a lot.
According to the data of Wuzhou transportation department, the largest number of "motorcycle army" vehicles in Spring Festival travel rush peak was 250,000 vehicles in 2065,438+04, but it dropped to 50,000 vehicles in Spring Festival travel rush peak in 2065,438+09 and only 5,000 vehicles in Spring Festival travel rush peak in 2026,5438+0. It is estimated that the number of people will be within 1 0,000 this year. The "motorcycle army" that has lasted for many years is gradually disappearing.
In the era of Spring Festival travel rush without high-speed rail, the railway capacity from the Pearl River Delta to the southwest including Guangxi was already very tight. Because Spring Festival travel rush can't buy train tickets, a considerable number of migrant workers in Guangxi choose to ride motorcycles together to return home. At the same time, the same route, let them gather into a mighty "motorcycle army."
In 20 12, the "motorcycle army" began to rise in the craze of Spring Festival travel rush, with a total of more than 300,000 people in that year. In order to ensure the safety of the motorcycle army, the local government even used police cars to clear the way for them. In Spring Festival travel rush in 20 14, the "motorcycle army" reached its peak, once approaching 600,000 people. Zhaoqing and other places arrange 1000 staff every day to provide them with voluntary services such as guidance, rescue and catering.
In the 20 days before the Spring Festival of 20 14, there were more than 30 "motorcycle armies" causing traffic jams every day, and the most one day caused more than 50 traffic accidents.
Xie Yi, a professor at the Party School of Shenzhen Municipal Committee, believes that there are many hidden dangers in the "motorcycle army". According to the design requirements of motorcycle production, the body parts are not suitable for long-distance driving; Cycling for a long time in cold weather makes people's hands and feet stiff, which leads to weakened adaptability; Most people run long distances by bike temporarily, and they are unfamiliar with driving and road conditions, which is prone to accidents.
At the end of 20 14, Guiguang (Guiyang-Guangzhou) and Nanguang (Nanning-Guangzhou) high-speed railways were opened, which added an option for migrant workers in Guangxi to go home. During Spring Festival travel rush, Guiguang and Nanguang high-speed railways can transport 30,000 people every day. There is a safer and faster high-speed rail ride. In that year, the "motorcycle army" dropped by 200 thousand.
Wang Huizhen, who worked in Guangzhou, was once a member of the "motorcycle army". He calculated the account for the reporter: take the bus back to his hometown in Binyang, Guangxi, with a fare of more than 200 yuan (RMB, the same below), and it takes 10 hour to get home; It's only half the ride home by motorcycle, but it takes 14 and 15 hours, which is very hard and unsafe. Guangzhou to Nanning high-speed rail fare 169 yuan, you can get home in 4 hours.
According to Guangzhou Railway Group, this year's peak in Spring Festival travel rush, the transportation capacity of Nanguang and Guiguang high-speed railways reached a record high, with a daily transportation capacity of more than 90,000 people.
Since the opening of the high-speed railway, from the peak of 20 15 in Spring Festival travel rush, China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and China Railway Nanning Bureau Group Co., Ltd. jointly launched the "Motorbike Army" high-speed train with the Guangdong and Guangxi Party committees and governments, mainstream media and caring enterprises to escort them home safely. At the same time, I hope that by opening the high-speed rail, we can guide everyone to stop riding motorcycles and take the high-speed rail home safely.
20 16 in Spring Festival travel rush, the railway department also started a "motorcycle" freight train at the same time, allowing them to go home before the holiday and return to the factory after the holiday, so that they can use motorcycles. This year is the eighth consecutive year of Spring Festival travel rush peak, and the railway department started the "Warm Sun in Winter" high-speed train.
Zhou Guangrong, who works in an electronics factory in Shenzhen, said, "In the past, there were more than 10 villagers working in a factory in Guilin, Guangxi, and most of them went home by bike. Now everyone earns more than 5,000 yuan a month, and their families are getting richer. They either carpool or take the high-speed train home. This year, my fellow villagers advised me not to ride a bike. The road is very unsafe. " After he took the D2904 high-speed train, he sincerely felt that it was safe and comfortable to take the high-speed train.
