China Railway Group responded by suggesting the launch of "High speed Rail Elderly Annual Tickets". Netizens | High speed Rail | Elderly
According to the Chinese government website on August 1st, China Railway Group recently responded to a suggestion from netizens to "research and launch high-speed rail and high-speed train annual tickets for elderly people aged 60 and above.". A netizen from Xiamen, Fujian proposed that it is possible to study the purchase of annual tickets for high-speed rail and high-speed trains by elderly people aged 60 and above. In response, China Railway Group stated that passengers traveling on high-speed trains have significant differences in ticket prices due to differences in route, mileage, train level, and speed, making it difficult to determine the final price of annual tickets.
At present, the railway department is promoting the market-oriented reform of high-speed rail ticket prices. Most high-speed rail lines in the country have implemented differentiated price fluctuations, and the minimum discount for some lines has reached 5.5%. Passengers can choose according to their actual needs. In addition, the railway department has launched county-based and regular ticket products on multiple routes, and will also research and introduce new tourism ticket systems on some routes in the future, providing more convenience and affordability for passengers to travel by train.
