On September 19, a female passenger was fined 200 yuan for refusing to take a seat according to her number, and was included in the railway "blacklist". Previously, Sun He, a male passenger of the highly concerned high-speed railway "seat hogging", also received the same punishment for his seat hogging behavior. Yesterday, another netizen revealed that an elderly female passenger recently grabbed another person's seat on an ordinary train

The frequent occurrence of "seat dominating" and other uncivilized riding behaviors means that the punishment of the "blacklist" system is too weak? Or is it because the measures that are always punished after the fact make the "overlords" have no fear? In response, the railway staff said that it was generally difficult to take coercive measures in this situation. Experts suggest that the railway can act jointly with the public security department with law enforcement authority, and also link the railway blacklist with the social credit system to share credit information with other industries.

Female passengers who dominate seats are punished by public security

On the 19th, it was reported online that a woman on the G6078 train from Yongzhou to Shenzhen North did not take her seat according to the ticket, but forcibly occupied someone's seat near the window, and did not listen to the staff to dissuade her from giving up her seat. After the video was exposed, netizens condemned his "seat hogging" behavior, saying that his behavior seriously disturbed the train order.

Yesterday, Hengyang Railway Public Security Department and China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd. imposed a fine of 200 yuan and a 180 day ban on the "seat hogging woman" respectively. According to the report of Hengyang Railway Public Security Department, on September 19, 2018, Zhou (female, 32 years old) took the G6078 train to forcibly occupy others' seats and refused to listen to the dissuasion of the train staff. After investigation and evidence collection according to law, Hengyang Railway Public Security Department determined that his behavior constituted "disrupting the order of public transport", and imposed an administrative penalty of 200 yuan on Zhou.

Subsequently, China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd. reported that the railway passenger transport department will record the information about the passenger of G6078 train on September 19 in the railway credit system according to the regulations, and restrict them to buy tickets to take the train within a certain period of time. The passenger will not be able to purchase the train ticket within 180 days from the date when there is no valid objection at the expiration of the publicity period.

Online "Big Mama" draws attention again

At the same time that the female passengers who dominate the seats of the high-speed railway were concerned, some netizens posted that an elderly woman forcibly occupied another person's seat in the hard seat carriage of an ordinary train, and the train staff failed to persuade her.

According to the live video uploaded by netizens, a woman in red was sitting near the window of the train. When the train staff persuaded her to return her seat, they said, "Why don't you let others sit when they have bought a ticket?" The woman asked, "Why did he stand for half an hour, young man? Young people should 'educate'." The train staff repeatedly discouraged her, but the woman still refused to give up her seat, He also said that he had "waist pain, leg pain and didn't want to move". At the end of the video, the woman also told the man who occupied the seat: "You are unlucky to buy this seat."

The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily noticed that in this video, the armband of the train staff was written with the words "Guangzhou Railway" and "conductor". During the dissuasion process, the woman occupying the seat said repeatedly that she had not bought a ticket.

On September 20, a reporter from Beiqing Daily called the Guangzhou Railway Public Security Bureau as a passenger. In this regard, the staff of Guangzhou Railway Bureau said that they were learning about it.

Why didn't the railway seat number be printed on the back of the chair?

In response to the question of why the seat number was not attached to the seat raised by Zhou, a female passenger who was "seat hogging", the reporter of the Beijing Youth Daily also consulted the train staff. She said that because the train could not turn around, but the passenger seat must face the direction of the train, so most of the train seats are reversible. If the train turns back immediately after arriving at the end, the seat needs to be turned over. Therefore, if the seat number is marked on the seat, the rear window seat and aisle seat will be reversed.

The reporter of the Beiqing Daily found that the seat numbers of many countries, including South Korea, Japan, the United States and other countries, were marked on the windows or luggage racks.

After a number of seat hegemony incidents were exposed, some netizens also shared their experience of experiencing seat hegemony online. So, how do ordinary passengers deal with this situation? The reporter of Beiqing Daily called the Guangzhou Railway Bureau as a passenger, and the staff said that this kind of behavior was to disturb the public order of the train. After verification, it would be pulled into the list of dishonest people, limiting their right to travel within a certain time. If this happens, you can ask the conductor on the train for help.

The customer service of China Railway Group Corporation also said that they could find the staff on the train or call 12306 on the spot to report the situation, and "the staff will deal with it according to the relevant regulations".

Dilemma

Too low punishment for frequent short-term "seat dominance"?

Why didn't the police take compulsory measures on the spot?

As for the situation of railway passengers occupying seats, the staff of Guangzhou Railway Bureau said that the railway department was also worried about this situation, because if the passengers who occupy seats do not listen to persuasion and insist on not taking their seats in the right place, there is no good way. "What can you do with him? Can you pull him away? If you pull him, he will lie on the ground. What can you do?"

When the overlord passengers do not listen to the conductor's advice, why not let the police take compulsory measures? In this regard, the staff of Guangzhou Railway Bureau said that at present, only long-distance trains will be equipped with police, and short distance trains generally do not have police, "and the police are also difficult to enforce the law. In the process of forcibly taking passengers away from the seats, if the parties resist violently, because the space inside the train is relatively small, it is easy to harm other passengers".

In this regard, the grass-roots police officer Zhao has deep feelings. He said that in his more than 20 years of work as a passenger policeman, he had also encountered the situation of forcibly occupying other people's seats. "Most people would step aside when they heard the dissuasion, and few would not listen to the dissuasion". At the same time, Police Officer Zhao said that there were some people who did not listen to the advice, but even so, it was difficult for the police to take coercive measures against them. "When someone lies on the ground and says he is ill, we can't deal with it, so we don't dare to do it under normal circumstances. We can only find other seats for the people who are occupied."

According to Zhao police officer, at present, many short distance high-speed trains have been replaced by security officers instead of police officers, who have no law enforcement power and have to turn to the railway police station at the next station in case of similar forced seat occupation.

Is the 180 day train limit too light?

Recently, a number of high-speed rail seat grabbing incidents have attracted attention after being exposed. The male passengers who occupied the seats on the G334 train on August 21 and the female passengers who occupied the seats on the G6078 train on September 19 were both fined 200 yuan for public security, and were included in the railway "blacklist" by the railway department. They could not buy train tickets within 180 days. However, some netizens believe that the behavior of dominating seats has not been banned for many times, mainly because the punishment is not strong enough to achieve the effect of punishment and warning.

In this regard, Chen Yanyan, president of the School of Urban Transport of Beijing University of Technology, said that when punishing passengers who dominate seats, they should also be given the opportunity to correct their mistakes. Passengers were fined 200 yuan for public security and restricted to take trains for 180 days. If they do not make such mistakes again in the future, it will play an educational and disciplinary role for individuals. "It is unrealistic to strengthen the punishment of an isolated event, such as the behavior of high-speed rail dominating seats, in order to improve the quality of the whole people, and other people will no longer have similar problems. Every passenger who buys a ticket will enjoy the corresponding legal rights and interests, which should be respected. All walks of life need to have the awareness of 'respecting the legal right' and provide corresponding punishment measures for similar violations of the legal right, so as to play a disciplinary role in the whole society. "

In addition, Chen Yanyan also said that for passengers who dominate seats, the cost of dominating seats is not just a public security penalty of 200 yuan and a 180 day restriction on taking trains. Media exposure and public opinion will also exert pressure on them, play a supervisory role, and reduce violations and uncivilized behaviors of railway passengers. "But public opinion supervision should also be appropriate and pay attention to protecting personal privacy.".

How to strengthen the punishment of railway blacklist?

Chen Yanyan, the dean of the School of Urban Transport of Beijing University of Technology, said that passengers can choose whether to give up their seats to others. This is a personal act, but they cannot ask for giving up their seats through moral kidnapping.

The act of occupying a seat is tantamount to infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of other passengers. If no result is achieved after persuasion, compulsory measures should be taken. "If on-site disposal is difficult to control the situation, it needs to be assisted by extended means, such as putting them on the blacklist and controlling them to take trains, just like dealing with 'Laolai'".

Chen Yanyan said that punishing uncivilized riding behaviors such as "seat hogging" needs to combine on-site punishment with post punishment. On the one hand, taking coercive measures on the spot can also be used by a variety of means. "For example, after the event, the violators can be added to the blacklist of the railway industry, or even linked to the social credit system, so as to share the railway passenger credit information to other industries".

In order to punish uncivilized behaviors such as "seat hogging", Chen Yanyan said that the railway department can find problems, but has no law enforcement power, so some passengers can't do anything without listening to the dissuasion. The railway department can take joint action with the public security department with law enforcement authority, or reach an agreement to form a plan in advance to punish certain violations and phenomena.
