6. Travel Suggestions and Trend Forecasts
Based on the analysis of public opinion in the past 10 days, passengers are advised to:

Industry observers pointed out that with the increase in passenger traffic on the China-Laos railway, more railway station connection lines are expected to be opened within the year, but the fare system is likely to maintain the current standards. Citizens can submit specific fare suggestions through the mayor’s hotline 12345 and participate in public service price hearings.
