Customer service: ticket price will fluctuate due to different discounts
The National Day Golden Week Mid Autumn Festival superimposes the National Day. According to the news released by the railway 12306, this year's railway transportation for the National Day Golden Week starts on September 27 and ends on October 8, lasting 12 days. The national railway is expected to send 190 million passengers. The national railway implements the peak operation chart, and the average daily passenger seating capacity is expected to increase by 18.5% compared with the same period in 2019.
Travelers have a strong desire to travel, so the complaints of the above netizens have also attracted much attention. On September 19, the reporter consulted 12306 as a passenger, and the customer service personnel said that the tickets were divided into the published ticket price and the executive ticket price. If there was a certain discount when it occurred, it was the executive ticket price. If there was no discount, the bus would not be discounted on the same day, but would be sold at the published ticket price.
12306 customer service said that the published ticket price will also be published in the railway 12306APP. Through the ticket price query function, the price will be published. The customer service personnel also explained that the price of the mobile and sleeper is relatively high. As for the mobile and sleeper of the D927, the initial price is 2264 yuan, and the discount intensity is different. The ticket price will fluctuate to a certain extent. The overall discount is based on the published ticket price.
The reporter then calculated that according to the price of 1860 yuan on September 28, the discount was about 82%, and the ticket price on September 25 was 1150 yuan, equivalent to 50%.
Competent department: It is customary to implement floating fares on holidays
Can the price of railway tickets be adjusted at will? In fact, China's railways have implemented floating fares for many years. At the policy level, the Railway Passenger Transport Tariff Rules issued in 1997 clearly stated that "within the price approved by the State Council, with the consent of the national price department, the railway department of the State Council can implement floating prices according to the demand of the transport market; the railway bureau can be given the right to float the ticket and freight prices of passenger trains operating within the jurisdiction of the railway bureau according to the specific circumstances".
In 2016, the Notice on Reforming and Improving the Passenger Fare Policy for High speed EMUs issued by the National Development and Reform Commission mentioned that "the ticket prices for first-class and second-class passengers of high-speed EMUs running on the wholly owned and controlled railways by the central management enterprises with a design speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour shall be independently formulated by railway transport enterprises in accordance with price laws and regulations; The ticket prices of business seats, first-class seats, mobile and sleeping seats, as well as the ticket prices of new passenger dedicated railway lines under the control of social capital investment continue to be adjusted by the market, which are independently determined by railway transport enterprises according to market supply and demand, competition and other factors. " At the same time, it is clear that "when railway transport enterprises set the ticket prices for first-class and second-class passengers of high-speed rail multiple units, they should set the published ticket prices without discounts. At the same time, they can implement certain discounts according to the competition in the transport market, differences in service facilities, changes in passenger flow distribution, passenger affordability and demand characteristics, and determine the actual ticket prices."
As for high-speed railway moving and sleeping, according to the announcement information on 12306 website, as early as 2014, in the Announcement on Matters Related to the Moving and Sleeping of High speed Railway Starting and Arriving at the Morning, it was mentioned that "the ticket price of high-speed railway moving and sleeping is within the scope of the national freight policy and dynamically adjusted according to the market demand. There are three kinds of fares: weekday fares from Monday to Thursday and Saturday, weekend fares on Friday and Sunday, and holiday fares on holidays and during peak passenger transport periods. "
The reporter learned that at present, passengers can check the published ticket prices of all trains through the "Information Query" column of 12306 website. Taking Shenzhen North to Beijing West as an example, the published ticket price for mobile and sleeper is 2264 yuan, and the published ticket price for the second-class seat of the mobile and sleeper train is 756 * September 30. The ticket price and published ticket price for the high-speed railway from Shenzhen to Beijing and mobile and sleeper are implemented
The floating ticket price policy gives more pricing space to railways. During the National Day holiday, citizens' travel enthusiasm was high, and it was difficult to get a ticket for many popular routes. According to the State Railway Group, 74.05 million railway tickets were sold from September 13 to 16. Among them, 22.877 million tickets were sold on September 15 (the first day of the National Day holiday train ticket sales), a record high in single day ticket sales. On September 15, 12306 system accesses reached 53.2 billion times.
The State Railway Group suggested that passengers who have not yet bought tickets can buy tickets by waiting, and the success rate of waiting is more than 75%. Passengers can increase the success rate of waiting by submitting multiple waiting orders combined with "date, train number and seat" and extending the waiting time.
It is reported that according to the waiting ticket purchase rules, each user can submit two waiting orders, each order can add two adjacent travel dates with the same departure and arrival stations (can be different stations in the same city), and each travel date can add five different combined demands of "train number+seat".
Okay, so far as 12306 responds to the price increase of holiday tickets, thank you for your reading and love~
