Original title: "Buy short by long" urgently needs to make up for management shortcomings.
On February 18, the K225 train from Lanzhou to Guangzhou arrived at Changsha Station, because some passengers on the train did not get off at the arrival station on the ticket, resulting in overcrowding. Affected by this, some passengers who purchased tickets normally were unable to board the train at Changsha Station. (Yangtze Evening News, February 19).
It is not the first time that such a thing has happened due to the serious overloading of the train due to the passengers' "buying short and long", resulting in the inability of passengers who purchase tickets in the subsequent sections to get on the train normally. On February 15, the Guangzhou high-speed rail train was seriously overcrowded and could not run, and many passengers were reluctant to get off the train, and the conductor had no choice but to call the police.
In order to return home, some passengers take the train in the way of "buying a short and a long" without buying a ticket for the whole journey, resulting in serious overloading of the train. It is understandable that passengers choose to "buy short and long", but it is obvious that this behavior directly interferes with the normal order of railway passenger transportation, seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of other passengers, and also has serious safety risks.
In the peak travel period when train tickets are "hard to find", the phenomenon of passengers "buying short and long" has been repeatedly banned, which is ultimately due to the shortcomings in the management of the railway operation department. For a long time, the railway operation department has taken a tacit attitude towards the choice of passengers to "buy short and long", as long as it does not cause the high-speed rail train to fail to start, it will not drive the "buy short and long" passengers off the train.
In order to ensure the normal operation of trains and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of ticket-buying passengers, the railway transport department urgently needs to make up for the shortcomings in management, curb the phenomenon of "buying short and long", and further improve the service level and transportation capacity. On the one hand, big data technology should be used, combined with the pre-filling function of ticket purchase demand launched in this year's Spring Festival, to increase the number of temporary trains in a timely manner, strengthen resource allocation, increase capacity investment, and alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand to the greatest extent. On the other hand, it is necessary to allocate long- and short-distance train tickets more scientifically, fairly and reasonably, and open the information of passenger tickets and remaining tickets to the public more clearly and transparently, so as to guide passengers to travel in an orderly manner, so as to avoid short-distance passengers being forced to "buy long and short", and also prevent long-distance passengers from "buying short and long". （
