From December 23, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail will distinguish seasons, time slots, seats, sections, etc., according to passenger flow conditions, establish a flexible pricing mechanism, and implement high-quality and better prices, which may increase or decrease.
The implemented fare between the stations is based on the published fare as the upper limit, and a multi-grade and flexible fare system is implemented to provide passengers with more choices.
Floating fares are mainly related to the time required for the whole journey of each train. The basic feature is "faster cars increase in price, slower cars decrease in price".
The lowest fare for second-class seats on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail is 498 yuan and the highest fare is 604 yuan.
In addition, according to "China Railway" Weibo news, before the end of 2020, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail will pilot the "silent carriage" service.
This kind of carriage can provide passengers with a more quiet and comfortable travel environment. Passengers who are willing to abide by the corresponding code of conduct can choose the "quiet carriage" when buying tickets through the 12306 website and mobile client.
