In addition, near the end of the holiday, the number of short-distance transit passengers in Linfen, Yuncheng, Datong and Changzhi in Shanxi Province has also increased significantly. In order to relieve the pressure of passenger flow, in five days from 16th to 20th, the station added 25 pairs of high-speed EMUs and 9 pairs of general-speed trains from Taiyuan to Beijing, Tianjin and Xi ‘an, and added 28 pairs of EMUs for reconnection, that is, the EMUs of the previous 8 cars were added and hung into 16 cars. During the return trip, the two stations in Taiyuan added a total of 105,000 starting seats.

Therefore, this year, the station added six automatic ticket vending machines at the entrance, exit and waiting hall to facilitate passengers to pick up tickets or print reimbursement vouchers nearby. Finally, the railway reminds everyone that the passenger flow is very concentrated these days, and the majority of passengers who are going to take the bus must leave early and arrive at the station earlier to prevent the trip from being delayed due to road congestion around the station or many travelers.
