Recently, a passenger reported to Jimu News that she was unable to buy a seat ticket when she was taking her child on a train. When she went to the dining car, she was told that she could not sit without paying, and was required to buy two meals for two people. She had no choice but to stand all the way with her child. In response, 12306 clearly responded: You do need to pay to sit in the dining car, and there is a corresponding "minimum consumption standard".

Ms. Wang told Jimu News that it is summer vacation now and there are a lot of people traveling. Many people can only buy standing tickets, and the dining car refuses people, which is a bit inhumane.

Generally speaking, ordinary trains have independent dining cars. Currently, most high-speed trains do not have dining cars, but only dining bars. The location of the dining car is usually in the middle or end of the car, which varies depending on the car model and formation. For the dining car service, three meals a day are usually provided, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. The specific business hours will also vary depending on the car model, train number and station. Breakfast time is between 6:00 and 8:00 in the morning, lunch is between 11:00 and 13:00, and dinner is between 18:00 and 20:00.

So can you just take up seats in the dining car during non-meal time? The answer is no. Although, in addition to providing meal services, train dining cars can also provide seats for passengers without seat tickets during non-meal time periods, this service is usually paid, and the price may vary depending on the type of train, train number and station. As 12306 responded in this incident, dining cars are business premises, and you need to consume before you can sit down, and there is a "minimum consumption standard". What do you think of this response?

On the one hand, since it is a business place, it is natural to consider the profit effect. If it is only to satisfy the needs of a few people without seats, while generally squeezing out the due treatment of normal diners, it is inappropriate from the perspective of the efficiency of the dining car, and it will further increase the pressure on the use of seats. Paying the corresponding fees can bring convenience to consumers and also bring profits to the dining car.
