Dragon Boat Festival Holiday: 18 Congestion Hotspots Expected; Up to 58% Off Public Transport

With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, the Directorate General of Highways (DGH) announced today that 18 sections of provincial highways, including the Danjiang Bridge on Provincial Highway 61, are expected to face heavy traffic. To save time, the DGH encourages the use of public transportation. Intercity bus routes will offer a 40% discount, and TPASS 2.0 members can enjoy up to a 58% discount (42% of the original price). The holiday runs from June 19 to 21. To mitigate congestion, the DGH will implement traffic management measures, including alternative route guidance and signal adjustments. The DGH will also coordinate with the Freeway Bureau to monitor traffic in real-time and offer transfer discounts for those using public transport.
