According to China Railway Group Corporation, after the comprehensive implementation of student passenger reservation and ticket purchase services from August 1st, the railway department will further optimize the preferential measures for student passenger ticket purchase and travel. Judging from the usage time, in the past, student discount tickets were only applicable during winter and summer vacations. Nowadays, student discount tickets can be used at any time during the academic year (October 1st to September 30th of the following year). Each student has 4 one-way discount ticket opportunities per academic year, and the discount times will be refunded after the student discount ticket is refunded. Looking at the applicable range, in the past, the applicable range for student discount tickets was "from family residence to the location of the university". Nowadays, the family's place of residence can be set according to actual changes, with no limit on the number of modifications. Looking at the scope of application, in the past, student discount tickets for high-speed trains were only available for second-class seats. Nowadays, the range of seats for student discount tickets on high-speed trains has been adjusted to "including second-class seats, first-class seats, and sleeper seats on high-speed trains". The scope of application for student discount tickets on regular passenger trains remains unchanged, with hard seats and hard bedrooms. Judging from the level of discounts, in the past, the pricing rule for student discount tickets on high-speed trains was "25% off the published ticket price". Nowadays, the pricing rules for student discount tickets on high-speed trains have been adjusted to "25% off the executed ticket price", which is equivalent to a "discount up", with the lowest discount being 40% off the published ticket price. If the fare for a second-class seat on a certain train is 20% off the published fare, the student discount ticket will be further discounted by 25%, which is equivalent to 60% off the published fare. The ticket prices for regular passenger trains are set by the government, while student discount tickets are implemented according to current policies and remain unchanged. Hard seats are calculated at 50% of the ticket price, and the full price difference between hard sleeper and hard seat is charged. According to the inspection rules, for students who have already passed the preferential qualification verification, the railway department will no longer inspect their student ID when traveling; Those who have not passed the qualification verification for preferential treatment still need to bring their student ID when taking the bus. New students can purchase student discount tickets online and offline with their admission letter for travel. It is reported that the relevant discounted tickets are expected to go on sale from September 6th. Student passengers can check through the railway 12306 website, client, WeChat and other channels, or follow the dynamic information released by railway departments in various places. (New Society)
