BEIJING, January 30 (Xinhua) — The number of interregional passenger trips across China increased by 3.5 percent year-on-year to 66.86 billion by the end of 2025, the Ministry of Transport of China reported on Friday.
Last year, passenger traffic on rail transport increased by 6.7 percent, while civil aviation and road transport grew by 5.5 percent and 3.3 percent, respectively, ministry spokesperson Li Ying said at a press conference.
“Overall, the transport sector operated stably and made steady progress in 2025,” Li Ying stated.
According to her data, 58.7 billion tons of commercial cargo were transported in the country in 2025, a 3.2 percent increase from the previous year. Meanwhile, China's express delivery companies processed 199 billion parcels, a 13.7 percent increase from the 2024 level.
