During this year's National Day Golden Week, the Mid Autumn Festival coincides with the National Day holiday, resulting in a large number of people traveling and a high demand. According to the railway department's forecast, this year's railway transportation during the National Day Golden Week will start on September 27th and end on October 8th, lasting for 12 days. The national railway is expected to send 190 million passengers, and the daily average passenger seating capacity is expected to increase by 18.5% compared to the same period in 2019. Recently, the daily traffic of the 12306 system reached 53.2 billion times, equivalent to an average of over 616000 people competing for tickets every second.

Many netizens left comments on the news interactive message board of Liberation Daily that it is difficult to buy train tickets for this year's National Day holiday. In addition to complaining, some netizens also raised questions about the purchase regulations and ticket prices of train tickets, hoping to receive answers.

Q: Can train tickets be pre-sale in advance like air tickets, without the 15 day time limit?

Answer: Currently, the ticket sales time for both online and offline railway lines is consistent, all 15 days in advance. Industry insiders explain that the railway department did not set a longer pre-sale period to prevent people from buying tickets in advance and occupying space, which could result in passengers in real need not being able to buy tickets. Buying tickets 15 days in advance is relatively more fair. Previously, the pre-sale period for railway tickets was 30 days. However, due to the pandemic, the uncertainty of everyone's travel increased. It was later changed to 15 days or 5 days, but now it has been restored to 15 days.

However, the starting time for each station varies. For example, Beijing West Station and Nanjing South Station are at 8:00, Guangzhou South Station is at 10:00, Shanghai Hongqiao Station is at 13:30, and Shanghai Station is at 14:30. Passengers can use the "Starting Time" query function in the official "Railway 12306" app to inquire about the starting time of designated stations.

In the "Starting Time" section of the official "Railway 12306" app, you can check the starting time of tickets for various train stations in Shanghai.

Q: Why has train ticket prices increased during this year's National Day holiday?

Answer: In fact, it is customary to implement floating ticket prices during holidays, and China Railway has been implementing it for many years. The railway department mainly implements a multi-level, high and low price fluctuation strategy based on market supply and demand relationships and passenger flow patterns, with published ticket prices as the maximum price limit, divided by time periods, seats, and sections.

This year's National Day holiday, high-speed rail still implements differentiated ticket prices. For example, the ticket price for high-speed trains between Beijing and Shanghai is as high as 667 yuan for second-class seats and as low as 404 yuan. Passengers can access the published ticket prices for all train services through the "Information Inquiry" section of the 12306 website.

Q: May I ask when the additional trains for this year's National Day holiday will depart?

Answer: According to the latest response from China Railway Group, the railway department has arranged to open more than 100 passenger trains for the National Day holiday. These trains will run on September 28th, and tickets will be available for sale on September 18th. These additional trains can increase the daily passenger capacity by more than 70000 seats, mainly in the directions of Nanchang to Guangzhou, Wuhan to Guangzhou, Changsha to Nanchang, Nanchang to Shanghai, Xiamen to Shanghai, Shenzhen to Changsha, etc. In the future, the railway department will continue to increase the number of passenger trains in popular directions and hot periods in a timely manner based on pre-sale and standby ticket data, as well as railway transportation capacity.

Q: Can we choose third-party platform acceleration packages to compete for tickets?

Answer: Railway 12306 has never authorized any third-party platform to sell train tickets, nor can it give third-party platforms the so-called "priority ticket purchase rights". Third party platforms may retain user information during the process of purchasing tickets for passengers, which not only poses traps such as surcharges, acceleration packages, bundled sales services, but also poses a risk of personal information leakage.

Q: How to increase the chances of successful candidate ticket purchases?

Answer: 12306 can wait for up to 20 trains at the same time, and the success rate of waiting redemption exceeds 75%. In terms of specific operations, each user can have 2 standby orders, and each order can choose 2 dates. Each date has 5 different train numbers. Passengers can extend the standby redemption time and increase the standby success rate by submitting standby orders with multiple combinations of dates, train numbers, and seat types; Secondly, the success rate of accepting ticket grabs without seats is higher.

Q: What should I do if I cannot buy a direct ticket during peak passenger flow?

Answer: If direct tickets cannot be purchased during peak passenger flow, it is recommended to purchase connecting tickets and meet travel needs through segmented boarding. Railway 12306 will intelligently recommend transfer plans with available tickets for passengers to choose from based on their travel needs and availability.

How to eliminate safety hazards?, "Flying Car Party" Riding on the Most Beautiful Binjiang Road in Shanghai, Passing Over People with Sharp Headlines | Reporter | Safety Hazards

Mr. Wang can still recall his wonderful experience of leisurely cycling along the Pudong waterfront. Riding a shared bike near the Minsheng Road dock, heading south along the river, feeling the gentle river breeze and taking a deep breath of fresh air. This kind of past enjoyment made him feel nostalgic: in recent months, with many "racing enthusiasts" entering the Binjiang cycling lane, Mr. Wang had to shift his gaze from enjoying the scenery to the thrilling road conditions in front of him time and time again. In 2015, Pudong took the lead in launching the work of connecting and opening up public spaces on the east bank of the Huangpu River, and by the end of 2017, it had connected 22 kilometers of Binjiang. Over the years, with the continuous improvement of the landscape along the route, the green space transportation system that integrates cycling, running, and walking has gradually become a key window for citizens to have zero distance contact with the Huangpu River. However, while the flow of people continues to increase, there is a more diverse range of leisure activities

Be careful of this courier phone number! Are consumers really "actively" giving up on home delivery?, 618 Nearby Consumers | Express | Phone

"Why did the express delivery company deliver the goods to the temporary storage point when they were clearly requested to be delivered to their doorstep? They also claimed that after confirmation by the consumer, what was going on? Recently, Mr. Li, a consumer, complained to the Jiefang Daily Shangguan News reporter about Yunda Express, believing that the express delivery company did not deliver the goods to their doorstep without the consumer's permission.". The investigation found that Yunda's "no delivery to home" policy has a hidden reason: it actually misleads consumers into choosing not to provide door-to-door services through phone settings. The reporter purchased two products online and requested the merchant to use Yunda Express. A few days later, the logistics records showed that all the goods had arrived in Shanghai and were being delivered. Next, the reporter received a call from "95126", with the caller being a robot. The approximate meaning was: "You have a Yunda Express that is currently being delivered. Do you agree to place it at the temporary storage point? If you agree, please hang up. If you disagree, please press 2."
