At present, the railway 12306 system has successfully passed the peak of ticket sales before the Spring Festival, and tickets for February 16 (the seventh day of the first lunar month) have been put on sale on February 2, ushering in the peak of ticket sales for the return journey after the holiday. Yang Lipeng, technical director of the Railway 12306 Science and Technology Innovation Center, answered questions related to the purchase of Spring Festival train tickets that the public is concerned about.
Regardless of whether the "Acceleration Package" is purchased or not, the successful time for ticket purchase is the same
In order to make more profits, some "ticket-grabbing software" also create fast, light-speed, VIP and other "acceleration package" concepts with various tricks and different costs, and engage in false propaganda, so that passengers mistakenly believe that purchasing the "acceleration package" service can improve the success rate of ticket grabbing. According to 12306 background data analysis,Regardless of whether the "Acceleration Package" is purchased or not, the successful time for ticket purchase is the same
In fact, the probability of grabbing tickets by using this means is extremely low. Because the "ticket-grabbing software" submits the waitlist demand and eventually needs to enter the 12306 waitlist queue, and the waitlist of the 12306 system is cashed out in the chronological order of order generation, the ticket-grabbing software cannot adjust the waitlist demand that is ranked behind it to the forefront, and the 12306 system can identify the abnormal waitlist demand orders through a variety of ways and dispose of them, and will not give priority to the ticket amount to meet the abnormal waitlist demand.
It is rumored on the Internet that there are trains with "a large number of empty seats" because they take into account the long and short distances
The basic principle of railway ticket allocation is to take into account the convenience of passengers along the line to buy tickets and make full use of railway capacity resources, taking into account the long and short distances.
The allocation is mainly based on the historical passenger flow and ticket pre-sales at the departure station and stations along the routePriority will be given to long-distance passengers who take the train from the departure station to the final station, and when there are long-distance tickets left, the ticketing system will adjust part of the ticket amount to the stations along the route that are in demand.
At present, in the national railway operation map, the proportion of short-distance passenger trains under the management of the railway bureau has reached 65%, and short-distance passengers can choose more space.
For the phenomenon of "a large number of empty seats" on the existing trains found on the Internet, the main cause isThese trains may be one-way return trains, or some seats reserved to take care of passengers at intermediate stations, or some trains with longer lines may not be full of passengers in some sections.
