Lingnan Pass moves forward on national transportation systems integration
In 2017, the number of outbound tourists in China reached 128 million, which is more than half of the number of independent domestic travelers. The increasing demand for cross-border travel requires global transport system operators to offer an integrated solution.
An integrated solution for cross-border transportation systems
As “The Belt and Road Initiative” fosters interconnection of New Mobility as a Service, China has continuously invested in transportation network infrastructures, including high-speed rails, railways, highways, urban roads and rail transits.
