Reduce the traffic pressure in China before the Chinese New Year


The world largest mass migration every year is taking place currently just before the Chinese New Year. When ten of million people are moving across country to return home, the efficiency of transport becomes worse. Is there a way to improve the transporting efficiency? To deal with this problem, we face two constraints: time and costs. To reduce the pressure of traffic, we can increase people's available time to return home, or reduce people's willingness to return home. By doing so, we can either increase the holiday wage levels or give migrant workers longer holiday. However, it is also important to ensure that workers can only choose one option from the two choices; otherwise, the problem will not be solved.
