Today is the last working day before the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Vehicles with license plate numbers ending in 5 and 0 are subject to traffic restrictions.

The traffic authorities predict that from this afternoon until evening, key intercity hubs such as the Beijingnan (Beijing South) Railway Station, Beijingxi (Beijing West) Railway Station, and Beijing Capital International Airport will see a minor peak in outbound passenger flow, with roads in their surrounding areas to face heavy traffic pressure and their related subway stations to experience increased passenger flows. Residents are advised to stagger their travel times, and avoid peak periods and congestion-prone routes.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Beijing's transportation authorities will enhance public transportation capacity, with extended operating hours for subway lines such as Line 4, Line 7, and Daxing Airport Express.

Specifically, on May 30, departure time of the last train of the northbound route starting from Beijingnan Zhan (Beijing South Railway Station) Station of Subway Line 4 will be extended to 00:00 the following day, and on June 2, departure hour will be further extended to 00:30 the following day. The originally scheduled extension service plan for June 1 will be cancelled.

On June 2, departure time of the last train departing from Beijingxi Zhan (Beijing West Railway Station) Station for Universal Resort Station of Subway Line 7 will be extended to 00:00 the following day.

On June 2, departure time of the last train of Daxing Airport Express departing from Daxing Jichang (Daxing Airport) Station for Caoqiao Station will be extended to 00:00 the following day, and the originally planned extension service for June 1 will be cancelled.

Regarding bus services, operations on routes passing through the seven major railway stations will be enhanced with optimized vehicle allocation and scheduling. Special emphasis will be placed on increasing nighttime service capacity for holiday returning passengers at stations such as the Beijingnan (Beijing South) Railway Station and Beijing Fengtai Railway Station, while additional airport buses will be deployed for nighttime services.
