on the 18th, tickets for the national day holiday on october 2nd went on sale. reporters found that tickets for popular routes were hard to come by.
the reporter found on the ticket purchasing platform that tickets for routes from first-tier cities to major cities in the central and western regions are basically sold out. in addition, ticket bookings for some newly opened routes are also very popular. for example, the four stations of pujiang, yiwu, hengdian and pan'an along the jinhua line of the hangzhou-wenzhou high-speed railway, which was just opened in early september, have sold out the train tickets for the first day of national day (october 1). tickets for october 2 went on sale at noon on september 18, but some stations sold out in less than half an hour. for example, for the train tickets at hengdian station on october 2, only business class tickets were left after 8 a.m. and before 15 p.m.
wang hongye, product design manager of the railway 12306 science and technology innovation center: trains with shorter travel time are the first choice for passengers. when these tickets are on sale, a large number of passengers quickly grab tickets and they may be sold out quickly. passengers can use the railway 12306 standby ticket purchase function, and can select up to 60 "date + train number" combinations in total. temporarily added passenger train seats will be allocated first to passengers who have submitted standby orders, which can increase the success rate of ticket purchase.
it is understood that this year's national day golden week railway transportation will last for 10 days from september 29 to october 8. the national railway is expected to transport 175 million passengers, of which october 1 is the peak passenger flow day, and it is expected to exceed 21 million passengers.
