China’s four high-speed railways to adjust fares

Four high-speed railways in China will have their fares adjusted beginning on June 15, according to China's online railway ticket-booking platform 12306.

According to Huang Xiaodun, director of the transportation management department of Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line Co. Ltd, this fare adjustment mainly concerns the EMU (electric multiple unit) trains operating at speeds of 300 kilometers per hour and above on certain sections connecting Wuhan and Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Ningbo, Shanghai and Hangzhou, as well as Hangzhou and Changsha.

Higher ticket prices and lower discounted fares will be offered, according to the platform.

The price will vary based on factors such as season, date, time slot and seat class.

It is said that the existing single fare mechanism is inadequate for the current market-oriented railway operational landscape.

Huang said a flexible and competitive pricing system will enhance the diversity of passenger transport options.
