In 2013, new management mechanisms and transportation modes were applied in order to gear up the efficiency of the railway operation, according to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Company.

The enhanced transportation capacity, for both passengers and cargos, has been a vigorous promoter for the social and economic development in Tibet and Qinghai Province.

The railway company also ran added or temporary trains during the summer and winter vocations as well as the peak business seasons between Tibet and Qinghai to meet the sharply increasing demand for tickets.
