In addition to the “silent wagon” service, the railway department also launched test products and regular tickets on the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway and the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway from December 24, 2020.
This is reportedly a new ticket system product launched by the department of railways. The holder can take the specified number of trains that are designated to be sent to the station and seat by purchasing the product within the specified validity period. Passengers can purchase the above products through the 12306 website and the “Railway 12306” mobile app under real names.
It should be noted that the same passenger can only buy a maximum of two time counter tickets or regular tickets issued for the same station at the same time, but can buy multiple time counter tickets or regular tickets issued to different stations at the same time. Tickets cannot be transferred or shared, and can only be used by the passengers themselves.
Passengers are only allowed to use the designated delivery station at the time of purchase, make reservations or take the designated seats at the time of purchase, and are not allowed to get on or off the bus or cross the station at the intermediate station, and they can’t use it between seats. Furthermore, the same passenger can only activate one product delivered to the same station, but can activate multiple products delivered to different stations.
In terms of bus use, passengers can enter the station and board the bus in two ways, either through a seat reservation or by directly passing the original valid ID. The seat reservation method is to reserve seats through the 12306 website, the “Railway 12306” mobile app and the automatic ticket vending machine. After making the reservation, the passenger must enter the station to check the ticket and board the bus with the original valid identification.
Among them, counter tickets can reserve up to 4 unused seats; regular tickets can reserve up to 10 unused seats. For products that have not yet enabled travel, seats can only be reserved within 30 days of purchase. When the itinerary is changed, the reserved seat must be canceled before driving and no fee will be charged; If the reservation is not canceled, it will be considered as a trip. If the number of cancellations of a reserved seat within 48 hours prior to the trip count exceeds 5 times, the number of unused seats that can be reserved is adjusted to one. If the number of reserved seat cancellations exceeds 5 times in the 48 hours prior to commuter ticket start, or the number of non-trips after the reserved seat exceeds 5 times, the number of reserved seats that can be reserved is set to 1 .
The direct swipe of the card means that the passenger presents the original valid identification when purchasing the product and gets the designated seat for the product at the entrance gate or at the manual entrance gate during the check-in of the train ticket.
In addition, in accordance with the regulations, if the product is not able to mount, the buyer can request a refund through the original purchase channel. If driving is not enabled within 30 days of purchase, the system will automatically refund the full amount.
