This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays are combined into one. Golden Week transportation lasts for 12 days from September 27 to October 8. It has been extended by two days before and after the holiday. The national railways are expected to carry 190 million passengers. Is it advisable for some passengers to "buy a short trip and take a long trip" to get home because they can't buy tickets? In this regard,The official answer from China Railway is: "Buy short and ride long" is not advisable.
China Railway stated that in order to ensure the safety of train operations, railway vehicles have certain passenger capacity limits. For high-speed rail trains that operate safely, at high speeds and smoothly, the restrictions on passenger capacity are even stricter.
During peak passenger flow periods, if a large number of passengers who purchase short-distance tickets do not get off the train after arriving at the station, it will cause overcrowding in the carriage, seriously endangering train operation safety and affecting normal transportation order. The railway department will dissuade passengers who "buy a short trip and take a long trip" from getting off the train.Therefore, all passengers and friends are requested to strictly follow the tickets to the departure and departure stations and work together to maintain a good riding environment.
The China Railway Department also reminded that if direct tickets cannot be purchased during peak passenger flow periods, passengers can purchase connecting tickets to meet their travel needs by taking the train in sections. Railway 12306 will intelligently recommend transfer plans with remaining tickets based on passenger travel needs and remaining tickets for passengers to choose from.
In order to facilitate passengers to transfer between trains, the railway department has set up convenient in-station transfer channels at 100 major stations, and arranged station staff to provide guidance services. Passengers can enter the waiting room to wait without leaving the station, effectively shortening the transfer time.
