Standing ticket, that is, no seat ticket for the train. Because the number of seats in a train is limited, station tickets were born. Seatless tickets for China Railway are mainly aimed at hard-seat cars of ordinary passenger trains (soft-seat cars, hard-sleeper cars and soft-sleeper cars usually do not sell seatless tickets), and now some bullet trains also sell seatless tickets. Due to the complex fare composition and other factors, the price of railway passenger seatless tickets in China is temporarily stipulated to be the same as that of hard seat tickets (hard seat, air-conditioned hard seat, new air-conditioned hard seat and second-class seat of EMU).
As the name implies, the so-called station ticket is a train ticket without a seat. Just like hard seat tickets, you can only enter the hard seat car (you can eat the car when you need to eat), but you can't enter the hard sleeper car or soft sleeper car. Usually, most people choose standing tickets because they can't buy them. Passengers who are unwilling to choose other means of transportation will choose seatless tickets when they can't buy seat tickets or berth tickets.
In China, the capacity of single-deck hard-seat buses is generally around 130, and that of double-deck hard-seat buses is generally around 180. Usually, the number of seatless tickets sold per car at the departure station is generally 15%-20% of the capacity, and the number of people getting on the bus may reach 40%-60%.
