China Is Running 70% Fewer Passenger Trains Than ‘Normal,’ Operator Says

What’s new: China is currently running fewer than 3,000 passenger trains a day, which the national railway operator said is down more than 70% from “normal times,” without providing the period of comparison.

Authorities have suspended many passenger services running out of regions hit hard by the country’s latest Covid-19 outbreak, China State Railway Group Co. Ltd. said in a Tuesday statement (link in Chinese).
