お盆旅客、前年比２倍　行動制限なく回復―ＪＲ６社

　ＪＲ旅客６社は１８日、お盆期間（８月１０～１７日）の新幹線と在来線の利用実績を発表した。新幹線を含む特急・急行列車の乗客（主要４６区間）は、前年比２倍増の約６８５万２０００人となった。
　ＪＲ東日本によると、前線の停滞や台風８号に伴う大雨の影響により、複数の線区で特急列車に運休が発生した。一方で、新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大に伴う行動制限がなかったことから、昨年に比べ利用実績が回復したという。
　ただし、コロナ前の２０１８年と比べると、６社とも約６～７割にとどまり、コロナ前の水準には届かなかった。（2022/08/18-15:18）

The number of express and limited express train passengers during this summer's "bon" holiday period doubled from the previous year, with no movement restrictions over the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data released by six Japan Railways Group companies.
   A total of some 6,852,000 people used such trains, including Shinkansen bullet trains, on 46 major sections of JR lines in the week through Wednesday.
   The surge in passengers came even as limited express trains were canceled on some sections due to bad weather, including from the eighth typhoon of the year, according to East Japan Railway Co. , or JR East.
   Still, bon holiday passenger numbers at the six operators were about 60 to 70 pct of the levels in 2018, before the pandemic.
