The Spring Festival brought a lot of trouble. With the influx of a large number of returnees after the Spring Festival, high-speed rail tickets are in short supply. Despite the difficult situation, the responsibilities of work and family remained, and the desire to return home and the eagerness to return home remained with us. 
Recently, a high-speed railway in Guangzhou fell into operational difficulties due to the problem of overcrowding of passengers, and the conductor repeatedly advised to no avail, and finally had to ask for help and call the police. This incident has aroused widespread attention, and netizens have expressed their doubts about the difficult way home: It is not easy before the Spring Festival, why has the road back to the hometown after the Spring Festival become so tortuous?
In a section of the Guangzhou high-speed rail released on March 15, it attracted widespread attention. The main reason for the serious overcrowding problem of high-speed rail is that some passengers have adopted the method of "buying short and taking long". In other words, because it is impossible to buy a ticket to the destination, passengers choose to buy a short-distance ticket, and then buy tickets section by section, resulting in a serious overcrowding of high-speed rail carriages and the inability to operate normally.
*, the conductor appears helpless and explains the current situation to the passengers: please move slightly to the sides and rear of the carriage, the carriage is overcrowded and cannot leave at the moment. The picture shows that not only is the carriage full, but the aisles are also full.
An insider revealed that due to serious overcrowding, the spring was compressed, resulting in the train being unable to run. The conductor persuaded the short passengers to get off the train and wait for the next train, however, no one agreed. In desperation, the conductor had to choose to call the police, but it still caused the train to be delayed.
This incident reflects a common problem that we call "buying short by long".
The phenomenon of "buying short and multiplying long" has been around for a long time, originally for the convenience of travelers, but it has gradually evolved into a vicious circle. During peak passenger flow periods such as the Spring Festival, this behavior brings great pressure to traffic operations.
Imagine that the high-speed rail carriage, which was originally hard to find, was crowded with passengers who "bought short and long". They sat in their seats unharmed with their tickets in hand, making the already tense carriage even more crowded.
The station staff assumed that the passengers had disembarked and resold the tickets. However, the "buy short" passengers did not get off the bus, resulting in overcrowding of passengers and adding congestion to the Spring Festival.
While the original intention of "buying short by long" is well-intentioned, it becomes a disadvantage when it is abused as a shortcut to reach the destination. During the Spring Festival or holiday travel season, it is urgent to put an end to this phenomenon.
Netizens have offered suggestions and proposed various ways to stop the behavior of "buying short by long". Whether these suggestions are reasonable or not is worth pondering.
Recently, the return air tickets in some areas have skyrocketed, even to tens of thousands of yuan, but this has not stopped people from rushing home. Although it only costs a few hundred yuan or a few thousand yuan to solve this problem, according to CCTV on February 6, the Ministry of Railways has taken measures to combat the situation, and relevant policies are gradually improving. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a reasonable set of solutions, especially during the peak tourist season or the Spring Festival. In this way, when the conductor is faced with a similar situation, he can have a clear legal basis, and will not be helpless and can only ask for help**. But even so, how should passengers cope with the embarrassing situation of not being able to get off the bus? Is it a violation of the law in this case? Can the alarm have a real effect? Perhaps, ensuring that there are laws to follow is the best way to solve such problems. What are your thoughts on this?
