The railway department will carry out fare changes during the ticketing season

The establishment of the China Railway Corporation marked the separation of the government and enterprises of the Ministry of Railways. Everyone is generally concerned that the fares will increase. However, yesterday, the Lanzhou Railway Bureau took the lead in sending news of "discount tickets." Some netizens speculated whether this was the “New Deal” after the reform of the Ministry of Railways. The person in charge of this railway department stated: “The introduction of discount tickets for off-season railways has been a four-year history. Lanzhou Railway Bureau’s discount tickets and the reform of the Ministry of Railways It doesn't matter."

Yesterday, the Lanzhou Railway Bureau issued a message to launch a concessionary fare for vacant sleepers, involving 19 trains in the Lanzhou Passenger Terminal. The discounted fares are available from now until December 31 (except September 30 to October 7). It is understood that the Lanzhou Railway Bureau's introduction of free sleeper concession fares became the first railway bureau after the establishment of the China Railway Corporation.

After the short-distance sleeper fare concessions were implemented, the fare discount rates for some short-distance sleeping berths were relatively large. Take the Lanzhou-Urumqi T295 train as an example. The preferential section of the train was between Shanshan and Urumqi. Prior to the offer, the fare for this segment was 59 yuan (excluding the seat fee). After the discount was applied, the fare of the lower shop was 30.5 yuan, a decrease of 28.5 yuan.

The Lanzhou Railway Bureau has launched a concessionary fare for idle sleepers. Is it the "New Deal" after the separation of railway administrations? In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the railway department stated that the sleeper has adopted the off-season ticket concessions for 4 years. From March 2009, the original Ministry of Railways began to implement off-season ticket concessions across the board. “The Lanzhou Bureau introduced discount tickets and There is no relationship between the reform of the Ministry of Railways."

However, the relevant person in charge of the railway department also revealed that after the establishment of the China National Railway Corporation, the railway will carry out a series of cargo organization reforms and ticketing reforms. In the future, the railway fare is expected to have a certain amount of floating space, and different discounts or become The most normal.
