Follow me and I will share some interesting stories and experiences on a regular basis to exchange educational experiences together.
During the Spring Festival in 2024, the number of high-speed rail trips has increased dramatically, and the shortage of seats has attracted much attention. Among them, the issue of whether the business seat of the high-speed rail allows people to get on the train has become a hot topic. According to reports, passengers are not allowed to stand in both first-class and business-class carriages, and it is "overstepping" for passengers without tickets to sit in first-class seats. The 12306 railway personnel said that even if it is a second-class seat, there will be no serious overcrowding, and they will take measures to clean up passengers who "buy short and long".
Passengers have a variety of views on the rule that business seats on the high-speed rail do not allow people to board the train. Some passengers believe that they want to enjoy a comfortable and quiet environment after purchasing a first-class or business seat, and they have an attitude of rejection towards passengers who stand on the bus. For example, someone recalled an experience of taking a high-speed train, when his place was occupied by other passengers, and the aisle was full of people, which caused him great inconvenience and dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, there are also those who believe that in special circumstances, priority should be given to travelers returning home for the New Year. Especially during the Spring Festival travel period, tickets are tight, and passengers who cannot buy seats hope to be able to sit in first class at least a few stops. They believe that the business class car itself is a waste of resources, there is no guarantee that you can buy a ticket every time, and if you need to go home urgently in an emergency, it is a humanitarian consideration to have the opportunity to stop in the first class seat.
In addition, some people said that if they could pay for the supplement, they felt that they could sit in the first class. However, for the act of choosing to sit in first class just to enjoy a good meal, they believe that they should pay for it themselves rather than relying on others to provide it for free. They stressed that the need for food and the need for seating are two different things and should not be confused with each other.
On the controversial issue of standing and sitting, some passengers put forward some thoughts and suggestions. Some passengers believe that if passengers without tickets are allowed to enter first class, then they can set up seats of equivalent value when purchasing tickets, and then let passengers choose seats on a first-come, first-served basis. They believe that the purpose of seating itself is to provide services based on different consumptions, rather than to classify people. For travelers with urgent needs, there is the option to purchase a first-class ticket to meet their needs. For passengers who cannot afford to pay for a first-class fare, they should follow the rules and stand honestly or choose a second-class seat instead of encroaching on someone else's seat.
The discussion of the question of standing and sitting provoked a wide range of thoughts. As a traveler, I believe that when traveling on high-speed rail, you should follow the rules and order, and respect the rights and interests of other passengers. The original intention of purchasing a first-class or business class is to enjoy better services and environment, not to use this as an excuse to infringe on the rights and interests of others. At the same time, I think the railway authorities should be more flexible in dealing with the problem of standing and sitting in special cases. On the premise of ensuring passenger safety and overall order, due consideration can be given to providing temporary solutions for passengers in urgent need. When formulating and enforcing relevant regulations, it is necessary to balance the interests of all parties to better meet the reasonable needs of passengers.
To sum up, the regulation that high-speed rail business seats do not allow people to board the train has caused widespread controversy. Passengers have different perspectives and opinions on the issue of standing and sitting. But in any case, we should face this issue in an orderly and responsible manner to protect the rights and interests of every passenger and a comfortable travel experience. At the same time, the railway sector also needs to be more flexible and humane in terms of regulation implementation and service to adapt to the needs of different situations.
