Transporting Cars by Train
Yangcheng Evening News
September 30
Beijing launched the country's first car-transporting train for tourists to Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, on September 28. Travelers who shipped their cars that day left for Hangzhou two days later from Beijing South Railway Station and picked up their cars on October 1 at their destination. They were charged between 3,000 and 4,000 yuan ($489-652).
This service was intended to meet the needs of tourists who wanted to drive their own cars at their destination. The move saved customers the exhaustion from driving a long distance and prevented them from being caught in heavy traffic congestion on expressways during the week-long National Day holiday.
