In their bid to better serve travellers, passengers with special needs (seniors, the weak or sick, pregnant women and those with reduced mobility) will find services in place at both Nanjing Railway Station and Nanjing South Railway Station to help them transfer more easily between train and metro and vice versa.

On the roads, the two bus stations located at Nanjing’s main railway hubs are offering 24-hour ticket sales, boiling water, heated waiting areas and even a 24-hour food supply.

在空中，南京禄口国际机场当局推出了免费的冬衣寄存设施。前往温暖地区的旅客可以寄存羽绒服，回程时到指定地点领取。
