The country's transport sector has maintained generally stable growth during the January-September period, Wu Chungeng, chief planner with the ministry told a press conference.

During the period, railway, waterway and civil aviation passenger traffic increased by 13.8 percent, 1.1 percent and 19.1 percent, respectively year on year, while road passenger flow went up 4.7 percent year on year, Wu said.
