Starting from February 1, the national railway "silent carriage" service will usher in a significant expansion, extending to D- and G-prefixed power decentralized EMU trains in addition to moving and sleeping trains.By then, the number of silent trains available will increase to more than 8,000, providing more choices for travelers who need to travel quietly.
The core highlight of the "Silent Car" is the "extremely quiet" travel environment. Different from ordinary carriages, not only will the volume of train audio and video broadcasts be lowered here, but the train staff will also use soft-spoken services and prepare disposable earplugs for passengers in need.
But while enjoying the quietness, passengers must abide by strict silent protocols:
1. You must stay quiet in the "silent car" and move gently to avoid making noise;
2. Set mobile phones and other electronic devices to mute or vibrate;
3. Leave the "silent car" when making calls or talking to each other;
4. Wear headphones or turn off the audio source playback function when using electronic devices;
5. Passengers traveling with children should take good care of their children and avoid making noises and crying.
It is not complicated to buy a ticket for a silent carriage. You need to make an active choice when purchasing the ticket.
Trains that provide "silent carriage" service will be marked with the word "quiet" on the railway 12306 ticket purchase interface, passengers must agree to the silent agreement when purchasing tickets before they can purchase "silent carriage" tickets.
When purchasing tickets through the Railway 12306 website, client or automatic ticket vending machine,Check the option "Please give me priority in allocating the 'silent car'" option, and the system will give priority to allocating corresponding seats to passengers.
From the perspective of carriage configuration, a single EMU with 8 or 16 cars is equipped with only one silent car, a long-train Fuxing train with 17 cars is equipped with 2 cars, and a heavy-duty multiple unit is equipped with 1 car in the front and rear groups.
