passengers who buy a short ticket and ride a long journey may be denied the right to pay for their ticket and continue their journey

on september 1, the 2024 version of the "railway passenger transport regulations of china state railway group co., ltd." (hereinafter referred to as the "2024 version of the "china state railway group passenger transport regulations") was officially announced. the new regulations have made 24 revisions to the 2023 version of the "china state railway group passenger transport regulations" and will come into effect on september 1, 2024.

the reporter found that the most concerned adjustment in this revision of passenger regulations is the restriction on the problem of "buying a short trip and riding a long trip". it clearly states that for passengers who continue to ride beyond the station without a ticket after being informed that the train has no transportation capacity: the station and the train can refuse them entry, boarding or order them to get off the train; if they are ordered to get off the train, the ticket price that they have not used until the destination will not be refunded, and the transportation contract will be terminated immediately. in simple terms, when there is no transportation capacity, the train has the right to refuse "buying a short trip and riding a long trip" passengers to make up their tickets and continue to ride.

buying a short trip and riding a long trip means that passengers buy a short-distance ticket and do not get off the train when they arrive at the stop on the ticket, but directly buy a ticket on the train and continue riding, and get off at the stop they want. during holidays or on popular routes, the phenomenon of "buying a short trip and riding a long trip" is common. most passengers do not buy full-distance tickets, so they take the train with the idea of ​​"buying a short-distance ticket first and buying a ticket after getting on the train", or they change their itinerary temporarily on the way. in either case, there is a risk of overloading the train or preventing subsequent passengers from getting on the train.

the railway department has repeatedly responded to the phenomenon of "buying a short trip and riding a long distance", saying that it will decide whether to handle the procedure of paying for a ticket at a later station based on passenger flow, and that forcing a ticket at a later station will increase the ticket price by 50%. at the same time, to ensure the safety and order of train operation, during peak passenger flow periods, if the train has no transportation capacity, the procedure of paying for a ticket at a later station will be stopped, and passengers will be guided to ride according to the train number, section, and seat number indicated on the ticket to prevent serious overcrowding and affect the subsequent passengers.

as we all know, high-speed trains are allowed to have a certain overcrowding rate, but it cannot exceed the safety limit. if the overcrowding or overloading reaches the limit, the train will alarm and cannot continue to run. therefore, the railway department reminds passengers to plan their trips in advance, purchase corresponding tickets, and understand and support the relevant regulations implemented by the railway department during peak travel periods.
