黄金周收官日迎返程高峰：铁路加开 2449 列列车，高速公路充电量同比激增 51%
据交通运输部门 10 月 7 日通报，国庆黄金周最后一天全国迎来返程高峰，铁路部门当天加开 2449 列旅客列车疏运客流。今年假期出行结构出现明显变化：据路透社援引交通运输部数据，假期日均跨区域人员流动达 3.06 亿人次，其中铁路日均客运量同比增长约 13%，航空则基本持平。
公路出行方面，自驾总量仍居首位，但日均量同比下降 1.4%——汽油零售价格自年初以来上涨约 24%，促使更多人转向铁路。与此同时，新能源汽车出行量同比增长 35%，高速公路充电站日均用电量同比激增 51%，折射出中国公路出行能源结构的快速变化。
分析机构 Energy Aspects 指出，中国高铁网络的扩张正在重塑公路与航空需求格局，今年前九个月全国汽油消费同比下降 6%；随着假期结束、出行季转淡，成品油需求预计将进一步走弱。
交通运输部门总结，今年黄金周全国共发送旅客的结构变化，印证了「铁路骨干化、自驾电动化」的双重趋势：高铁网络覆盖扩大让 500 公里内出行进一步向铁路集中，而新能源汽车保有量上升则让公路出行在油价高企时仍保持韧性。这一格局预计将在 2027 年春运中继续放大。

Golden Week Closes With Return Rush: 2,449 Extra Trains as EV Charging Surges 51%
China's Golden Week holiday closed on Oct. 7 with the traditional return rush, and rail authorities scheduled 2,449 additional trains to handle the peak, according to transport officials. The holiday also revealed a shifting travel mix: Reuters, citing transport ministry data, reported average daily cross-regional passenger trips of 306 million, with rail trips up about 13% year on year while air travel was flat.
Road travel remained the largest mode but slipped 1.4% in daily volume, as retail gasoline prices up about 24% since the start of the year pushed more travelers onto trains. Trips by electric and other new-energy vehicles rose 35%, and average daily electricity use at highway charging stations surged 51% from last year — a snapshot of how quickly China's road travel is electrifying.
Energy Aspects noted that the expanding high-speed rail network is reshaping road and air demand, with national gasoline consumption down 6% in the first nine months of the year. The consultancy expected fuel demand to weaken further after October as the travel season winds down.
Transport officials summarized the holiday as confirming a dual trend — rail as the backbone and electrified self-driving: a denser high-speed network keeps pulling trips under 500 kilometers onto trains, while the growing EV fleet kept road travel resilient despite high fuel prices. The pattern is expected to intensify further at the 2027 Spring Festival travel rush.
