recently,Some netizens posted a question asking: "Is it reasonable for high-speed rail non-seat tickets to have the same fare as second-class tickets?" This sparked heated discussions among netizens.Some netizens believe that "the ticket without a seat is essentially a second-class seat. Passengers have the right to use the vacant seats in the carriage, so the price is consistent and reasonable."
"It's not that you need unseating tickets, you need unseating tickets. If you're not in a hurry, you can buy seated tickets, so you don't have to worry about the price of unseating tickets being the same as second-class seats. On the contrary, unseating tickets affect the riding experience of second-class seats, and the price is higher."
Some netizens also believe that "the ride comfort of seatless tickets is low, and the ticket price should be appropriately reduced" and "after seated tickets are sold out, seatless tickets can be sold at a discount to take into account fairness and emergency needs."
Many netizens emphasized thatBuying your own seatless ticket is often a last resort for emergency travel, not the first choice, so the fare should reflect the difference in service.
On August 21, 12306 staff responded: At present, the price of high-speed rail without a seat is basically the same as that of a hard seat or second-class seat.Regarding the use of seats, although passengers without seats have no fixed seats, they can temporarily take the vacant seats in the carriage;
"When the passenger holding the seat gets on the bus, the passenger without a seat must take the initiative to give up his seat. This rule is designed to take into account the travel needs of passengers without seats and the protection of the rights and interests of passengers with seats, and it falls within the scope of reasonable pricing."
