Do you think paying extra to get a train ticket is fair? (by October 11) As the supply of high-speed train tickets fell far short of demand during the seven-day National Day holidays, many third-party ticket booking platforms charged for their service – allowing users to pay extra to be prioritized for a ticket. Lawyers said the practice fell into a gray area and criticized it for disturbing the ticket market. Some passengers argued that it is convenient for those who have no time to line up at the railway station or stick to the computer and keep clicking the “buy” button.
