Netizens call for half-price ticket approval for mainstream stations

User Weizhuang posted on Saturday that the train ticket price should be half-price. As of yesterday's (January 14) 20:25, the amount of retransmission reached more than 150,000. Affirming price reductions has become mainstream, but there are also different voices on the Internet.

The solution depends on the national level

Professionals said that the existing fare implementation standards have been implemented for more than 17 years, and fares are mainly calculated in kilometers; solving the issue of station tickets and seat tickets at a single price requires more attention from the Ministry of Railways and the country. The core is actually the "capacity" issue.

In another 12 days, the 2013 Spring Festival will be officially launched. The "migration" of hundreds of millions of people during the Spring Festival season also made it difficult to obtain one ticket for train tickets. Everyone who buys a ticket will have such questions. Why is the price of a ticket the same as a seat ticket for the same train? Recently, on the website, the questioning netizens accounted for nearly 80%. Many people have suggested that since the station ticket does not enjoy its due service, it should be sold at half price.

Yesterday, the Chengdu Business Daily reporter interviewed professionals who were familiar with the railway industry, as well as experts and scholars in the legal profession and the economics community. It was reasonable to interpret the price of the ticket for train tickets and seat tickets.

Call for half-price netizens postings were forwarded 150,000 times

On Saturday, Wei Zhuang, a freelance writer for Sina real-name authentication and social worker, released an initiative calling for a half-price train ticket.

“China Railway sells a large number of tickets without seats every year. However, for a long time, tickets without seats are still sold at full price. There are mostly migrant workers who are not seated passengers. They have no votes for their own because of conditions and knowledge. According to the law of market value, they did not enjoy the services matching the fares of the car, so the full price of the seatless ticket was unreasonable. Zhuang Brothers thought: There is no half price! Supporting friends turn up!" Many users responded that as of 20:25 yesterday, the number of retransmissions reached more than 150,000.

Although it is in favor of price cuts to become mainstream, there are also different voices on the Internet. Others think that not only should the standing ticket not be folded, but in most cases it should be more expensive than the seat ticket.

Has there been no change in fare enforcement standards for more than 17 years?

How are station tickets priced? Is there any pricing for standing tickets? Yesterday, reporters from Chengdu Business Daily contacted a professional who was familiar with the railway industry. The source stated that the current ticket price is based on the documents issued by the National Planning Commission (now the National Development and Reform Commission) in October 1995. The base price, which is the price for hard seats for ordinary passenger trains, has been raised from 0.03861 yuan per person per kilometer to 0.05861 yuan. "This price has also been implemented so far."

The person said that the railway department did not have a specific document stipulating that the ticket price of the train ticket should be the same as the price of the seat ticket. The source stated that since the previous document only stipulated the price of hard seats, the railway department also used the hard seat ticket price as the minimum price for the standing ticket according to the minimum standard of the document. According to the Chengdu Railway Business News reporters inquiring about the website of the China Railway Customer Service Center 12306, according to the “Railway Passenger Transport Tariff Regulations” published on the website, passengers’ fares are based on the fare rate per person per kilometer and traveled by passengers. Distance and different train equipment conditions are determined by the method of declining far away (that is, the farther the distance, the lower the cost, the fare is relatively cheap).

How to solve the fare issue more needs to be implemented at the national level?

According to reports, from the actual operation point of view, passenger trains are generally only in a full state, there are not many cases of overcrowding, the overcrowding rate of popular trips is about 30%. However, during the Spring Festival, the highest overcrowding rate will reach 50% to 60%.

This person believes that the core is actually a "capacity" problem. Every road trip during the Spring Festival will mobilize all the vehicles in stock, but it still cannot fully meet the passenger travel needs. Standing ticket is also a way to solve the problem of passenger travel. At the same time, this person also frankly stated that in terms of the operation of passenger trains, the railway has always been at a loss. Solving the problem of one-price tickets for station tickets and seat tickets is not just a matter that can be accomplished by a railway department. More needs to be met by the Ministry of Railways. At the national level.

There should be no half-price arguments for the opinions of experts: the price should be adjusted VS should not be adjusted to fair prices should be reduced appropriately

“Now that national railways adopt a real-name system and sell tickets online, based on the principle of fairness, the price of station tickets should be appropriately lowered.” The lawyer of Sichuan Jinche Law Firm Yu Guoyong described a simple principle. Once a car has started selling station tickets, then Explain that other tickets have been sold, and operating costs have been theoretically withdrawn. Therefore, based on the principle of fairness and the principle of the contract, the station ticket price should be lowered accordingly.

"And as a state-owned unit, the railway should shoulder the responsibility of the people and the people, and should shoulder the responsibility in this regard." Kuang Guoyong said that from the standpoint of equal compensation, passengers spend money to buy tickets. Standing tickets and hard seat tickets have the same price and they should enjoy it. The same service.

Yang Jirui, president of Chongqing University of Industry and Technology, said that the mileage of railway operations is relatively long. The same service should be used to consume the same price. Secondly, the space occupied by the people sitting is greater than that of the station passengers. The price should not be the same.

Netizen's voice: half-price rational VS half-price unreasonable Last night, Chengdu Business Daily reporter compiled the views of some users on Sina Weibo.

In favor of half price party:

"The full price of the station ticket is unreasonable."

Xy Kangaroo: Support for ticket prices without seats! For the same amount of money, there is a place where you can comfortably enjoy the trip. Without a seat, it is a hard journey. Why can't you give a seatless ticket a discount?

Wang Peng-Hefei: The full-price ticket without a seat is originally a barbarian ticket, because the fare should be set based on the overall service value of the entire trip, including elements such as distance, speed, comfort, etc. When these elements have any A degree of change in the degree of occurrence, the price set in accordance with this should be adjusted, otherwise it should be categorized as barbaric or unreasonable.

Against half-price parties:

"The bus also has to stand, so there is no controversy"

Vladimir V:1. There are also a large number of full-price tickets for public transport and subway, but why is it not the focus of the controversy? 2. Why is there no seat ticket that should be half price rather than another price? Half price is reasonable? 3. Why is it in the Spring Festival? At the time of arrival, it is more important to offer a half price without seat, half price, and ticket purchase.

Sina Weibo’s real-name CCTV reporter and Sina Weibo community committee expert Wang Zhi’an, an expert member of the Sina Weibo Community Committee, asked why station tickets should be more expensive than seat tickets. People who buy station tickets are more time-sensitive and they require only one. Catch this car. In this case, the bargaining power of these people is the worst. From a business perspective, they should be sold more expensive tickets.
