China News Service, February 5th. Recently, the technical person in charge of the Railway 12306 Science and Technology Innovation Center responded to issues related to the purchase of Spring Festival travel train tickets that are of public concern. According to reports, some "ticket grabbing software" sets a large number of words 12306 on their relevant pages and function introductions, making passengers mistakenly think that they have cooperated with the railway 12306 platform and that the ticket amount is guaranteed. The actual situation is that the 12306 platform has never cooperated with any third-party platform organization, nor has it allocated ticket amounts to any third-party platform for sale, nor has it established data links with any third-party platform.
The remaining ticket data displayed on the "ticket grabbing software" platform page is obtained by crawling the information displayed on the page from the 12306 platform, and then modifying and processing it. When the train tickets for a certain train are sold out, the 12306 platform will show that there are no tickets for the train, but when it is displayed on the "ticket grabbing software" platform, it will be changed to "ticketed", which essentially allows passengers to "buy the long-distance train and take the short-distance train" and " Buy the short and multiply the long”.
“Ticket-grabbing software” induces passengers to set up multiple destination-station combinations, adopt the “buy long-distance and take short-distance” method of spending more money to purchase tickets for a few stops ahead of the actual arrival station, and “buy short-distance tickets first to get on the train and not get off in violation of regulations” Buy tickets using the "buy short, ride long" method. Under "Have a ticket", additional small print prompts are set, such as "Buy for a few more stops" or "You don't have to get off the bus for the whole journey, get on the bus to pay for the ticket", etc. This kind of "Have a ticket" does not really have a ticket from the departure station to the arrival station. "Buy a short trip and take a short trip" will make passengers pay more. "Buy a short trip and take a long trip" and get on the train to pay for tickets may trigger an overcrowding alarm and affect the safety of train operation. The railway department will ask those who "buy a short trip and take a long trip" to get off the train in accordance with regulations. Passenger travel will be greatly affected.
In addition, the "ticket-grabbing software" also recommends unreasonable transfer plans, allowing its platform to show that tickets are available. Some transfer times are particularly short, which can easily cause "missed rides" when passengers travel. However, the "ticket-grabbing software" does not consider For these, only the fees earned by successfully purchasing tickets will be considered.
