The passenger service via the China-Laos Railway, from Tuesday, will be shortened by more than an hour, benefiting from speedier customs clearance for cross-border passengers.
Previously, the trip from Kunming to the Lao capital of Vientiane on the 1,035-km-long track took 10 and a half hours to complete, including the time spent on going through customs.
Based on the upgraded train operation diagram, the travel time has now been reduced by 64 minutes due to a facilitated customs clearance procedure for passengers on the international train service.—Xinhua
