Unable to obtain bus or train tickets, tens of thousands of migrant workers must travel home for the holidays on motorcyles.  (The Epoch Times)
As the Chinese New Year approaches, literally billions of Chinese are returning home for the holidays. This annual spring migration is considered the largest of all human migrations, with the number of travelers expected to reach 2.5 billion this year.

So important is this homeward journey, migrant workers let little stand in their way. Public transportation for them is often too costly or too hard to get, so an estimated 130,000 will bear the harsh weather, the long distances, the frostbite, and the numbness of their legs to return home via motorcycle.
