On November 4, the reporter found that following Shanghai Railway Bureau, Chengdu Railway Bureau, Lanzhou Railway Bureau, Guangzhou Railway Bureau and other railway departments The news of the implementation of multi-level ticket prices has been released. To this end, the railway professional analysis, the railway fare to adapt to market demand is imperative, which or Beijing Shanghai railway company will be listed. (upstream news on November 4)
the first step of railway market-oriented operation is to optimize and adjust railway fare and try out market-oriented pricing. In the middle of this year, with the approval of the State Council, China Railway Corporation was restructured to establish China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., which means that the company's reform plan determined by the former "China Railway Corporation" has completed the last step in three steps. This is not simply a change of name. The change of name also represents the change of enterprise's attitude towards the market, which means the change of enterprise's operation risk in the future. Generally speaking, it means independent operation and self financing. The "iron boss" in the past will no longer exist
for the majority of people taking the railway, the most sensitive nature is the price. In the past, China's railway freight rate has always been fixed by the state, with highly centralized management authority. The freight rate lacks flexible mechanism and scientific basis for enterprises. Some lines have not changed the fare even for more than ten years, which is not in line with the market law at all. The fare adjustment of multiple railway bureaus is just a small step for enterprises to make their own pricing attempt. Of course, for most people, the most worrying thing about the enterprise's own pricing is that the open pricing power will increase the price, making people unable to afford high-speed rail, or unwilling to do high-speed rail. In fact, this is the development trend of market economy
at present, the railway department optimizes and adjusts the ticket price of EMU trains, and implements multi-level ticket price within the current price by season, time, seat and section, with overall increase and decrease, and the maximum discount can be reduced by 5.5%. Just like the ticket price of civil aviation, according to the difference between the peak season and the off-season, the ticket price is also in a state of fluctuation, sometimes it can be bought early, but also When buying "cabbage price", the railway can make use of the price change, fine tune the supply and demand relationship between passengers and the transportation department during the peak travel periods such as golden week and Spring Festival, and ease the concentrated passenger flow. Passengers can also choose which day to travel and how much to spend according to their own needs. For example, if they choose to travel at different peak, they can not only avoid the crowded flow of people, but also save part of the road fee and ticket fee, which is more than one stroke A 6031 a 6031 throughout the development of railway, in recent years, the railway reform frequency, the abolition of the Ministry of Railways to establish a Railway Corporation, promote the separation of administrative enterprises. The railway people take concrete measures to make sure that people can see and feel it, and practice the purpose of "people's railway for the people" with practical actions, so as to create a warm, comfortable and safe travel environment for passengers wholeheartedly.
