China train system ensures seats for lusting ticket passengers

China train new system ensures passengers can still get a seat if they lose the train ticket by a replacement ticket.

 

The Ministry of Railways said Wednesday it is planning to roll out the measures to protect the interests of real-name ticket holders.

 

Those with lost train tickets can go to the ticket office no less than 20 minutes before ticket checking stops, show identification and some ticket information, and purchase a new ticket that will allow them to use the seats they originally booked, the ministry said.

 

China has used the real-name ticketing method for all trains ever since the beginning with this year to control the ticket scalping that typically thrives throughout the Lunar New Year vacation rush.
