Reservationless seat ticket, referred to as seatless ticket, also known as station ticket, is a paper train ticket used on China's national railway line. Because passengers who buy this kind of train ticket can only stand when the seats are full, it is commonly known as the station ticket by the public.
Because the speed of high-speed rail can reach more than 250km/h, for the safety and experience of passengers, high-speed rail only sets a small number of station tickets for passengers in urgent need. High-speed railway station will provide station tickets if passengers wish. In addition, high-speed rail station tickets can only be purchased on-site through the train station window, and online ordering service is not provided.
The national day passenger flow is large, and the sales of station tickets will increase accordingly.
Extended data:
At first, the high-speed rail station ticket was mainly short-distance, but the traffic behind it was too large, and the station ticket lasted for several days.
The price of a standing ticket is the same as that of a second-class ticket. The reason is that, except during the peak hours of Spring Festival travel rush or passenger flow, there is basically no overload phenomenon during most railway operations. If there is a big price difference between a seatless ticket and a seated ticket at this time, then most people choose to buy a seatless ticket and get a seat after getting on the bus, which is unfair to buy a seated ticket and a standing ticket without a seat.
If the high-speed rail station ticket is only charged at half price, the income will probably be even worse. Therefore, the high-speed rail station ticket is as reasonable as the air ticket price.
People's Daily Online-Beijing West Railway Station South Station will be able to buy a ticket for Spring Festival travel rush to rush through the high-speed rail station at the same price as the second-class seat.
