Dynamic price adjustment of high-speed rail car in China from next month

Morning news (Nanjing Morning News / love Nanjing reporter Chen Yan) from next month, when you take the multi-directional high-speed rail and bullet train, you will enjoy a discount on the ticket price. This is the news that the reporter learned from the railway department yesterday. Up to now, several railway bureaus, including Shanghai Railway Bureau Group Co., Ltd., have released news that from December 1, they have carried out fare optimization and adjustment for their high-speed EMU trains. Among them, the maximum discount is 5.5%. However, it should be noted that when the railway department sells discounted fares, some train fares have slightly increased, generally speaking, they have increased or decreased

people who often travel by train will notice that a long time ago, the formulation of railway ticket prices was mainly based on the number of kilometers multiplied by a fixed benchmark price, and the price of each line was fixed, which did not change with the market situation. Later, after the civil aviation and highway passenger transport successively implemented the fare pricing system adjusted by the factors such as passenger flow slack season, oil price linkage, etc., the railway department took the lead in choosing to implement fare floating for EMU trains on the 300 km / h line in 2011. Since then, the pilot of floating ticket price has been started in 2015, with different ticket prices implemented according to peak and weekend. According to the relevant regulations of the state, from January 1, 2016, the market adjusted price of EMU ticket price shall be determined by the transportation enterprise independently according to the market competition. In April last year, the price of Beijing Shanghai sleeper train tickets increased. The price fluctuation of high-speed rail cars nationwide can be seen as the action of railway passenger transport to further adapt to the market demand

according to the information released by Shanghai Railway Bureau, from next month, it will mainly optimize and adjust the ticket prices of more than 400 EMU trains in the southeast coast. High speed rail such as Huning, NInghang and Ningan are not included in the optimization and adjustment.
