If you haven’t bought a direct train ticket during the Spring Festival, you can consider buying tickets in sections. Three transfer methods

According to CCTV News, judging from previous Spring Festival travel data, direct train tickets for popular lines are relatively tight, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.If passengers have not purchased direct train tickets, they can consider "buying tickets in sections".Transit transfer means that passengers who have not purchased a direct train ticket to their destination purchase train tickets in segments, like a relay. After arriving at the terminal station of the previous ticket, they then transfer to the starting station of the next segment of the ticket, thereby completing the entire journey.

Transfers can be subdivided into three situations: transfers at the same station, transfers in the same city and transfers on the same train.

For transfers at the same station, there are usually convenient transfer channels within the station, and staff will provide you with guidance services. When you enter the waiting room, passengers do not need to go through security check again. They can swipe their ID card by themselves to enter the platform and board the train with the valid ID of the connecting ticket.

For intra-city transfers, passengers get off at the station where they got off on the previous journey, and it is not the starting station of the next journey. They need to get on at another station in the same city to complete the second journey.

Transferring on the same train means that when passengers are on the same train, the terminal station of the first trip and the starting point of the next trip are not only at the same station, but also on the same train.

This situation applies when the direct train tickets for the same train are sold out, but the passengers who transfer happen to have tickets for their next itinerary, and they are on the same train. Passengers who purchase tickets for two adjacent sections of the same train do not need to get off the train after completing the first leg of the journey and arrive at the station. They can just change to the carriage and seat of their second leg of the journey.

How to buy a ticket to transfer on the same train?

After passengers check their tickets, they click on the "Transfer" tab. The system not only provides transfer suggestions between different trains, but also intelligently combines available remaining tickets in different sections on the same train, giving priority to transfer plans with available tickets on the same train to achieve in-train transfers.
