Affected by the epidemic, the 70 pairs of daily Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity MRT trains have been cut to 34 to 36 on workdays and 39 to 41 pairs on weekends. The occupancy rate of each carriage is about 50 percent in order to reduce the risk of cross-over infection, said the head of the China Railway Guangzhou Group Zhuhai Station.

China State Railway Group will offer up to 55 percent discounts for more than 200 trains on 25 intercity MRT rail lines nationwide as of March 25 to satisfy the demands of cross-city commuters and short-trip travelers.
