The scope of the implementation of e-tickets this time is mainly distributed in the stations and boarding stations that public welfare "slow trains" such as Chengdu-Kunming Railway and Shuihong Railway pass through.
E-tickets are issued with one card. Passengers who order tickets through railway 12306 official website, 12306 mobile APP and other channels can conveniently enter, check in, board and exit the station with their own ID cards without having to pick up the ticket.
