Duang Duang Duang, the little assistant of the spring festival of the fans, is here again.
Starting from today, the country's high-speed rail trains have officially entered this year's Spring Festival mode. Have you all bought tickets?
Only recently, 12306 has updated a large wave of functions, which is likely to have an impact on everyone's travel.
So I quickly coded out an article and drew the main points with the friends.
Every year during the Spring Festival, we will see reports that someone forgot to bring their ID card, or lost their ID card.
However, many people go to the station with pinch points.
It is likely that it is too late to return home to get an ID card, or it is too late to go to the railway public security and open a paper version of the temporary identity certificate. Isn't it just a matter of hurrying?
Don't worry, this year 12306 launched an epic update feature:
Electronic temporary identification
Let's first update the 12306 App to the latest version, the current Android latest is 5.5.1.4, iOS is latest 5.5.0.
On the homepage, you can find a button for "Warm Service", and the first one to poke in it is "Temporary Identification for Passenger Train".
Since it is an official product, the electronic version of the temporary identification issued here can be used in all aspects of the ride.
For example, if we go through the gate to verify the ticket, check the ticket on the car, or even go to the manual window to apply for a refund and change, we can use this electronic version of the temporary identity certificate.
There are only some details, and the machine brother wants to explain it to everyone clearly.
When applying, the first thing to do is fill in the relevant identity information.
In fact, it is the name and ID number, so even if you are in a hurry, you can fill it in three or two times, and then scan your face to confirm it.
The only thing to note is that since it is still in trial operation, there are only 3 opportunities per person a month, but it is enough to go back and forth.
Although the validity period of the certificate is 24 hours, the machine brother guesses that it should be applied for before driving, so there is no need to worry about the validity period.
For the sake of all of you, 12306 is really heartbreaking.
In general, the machine brother feels that this function is quite good, and there is no need to have a headache to prove that "I am me" in the future.
But let's remind everyone that this is just a fallback. Be sure to bring your ID card before you go out, and remember it all for me!
In addition, before the friends go out, there is another thing to pay attention to: check the epidemic prevention policy of the destination.
Due to the emergence of the epidemic, the Spring Festival since the beginning of the two or three years is particularly different from previous years. Each destination may have a different epidemic prevention policy, so we need to make different decisions.
Previously, we may have to specifically go to some applets to query.
Now don't be so troublesome, the epidemic prevention policy has been integrated in the 12306 App.
Epidemic prevention policy inquiries
In the process of buying tickets, after entering the place of departure and destination, 12306 will pop up at the top of a "click to view the epidemic prevention policy of xx city (departure place)-xx city (destination)".
That is to say, we can simply check the epidemic prevention policy of the destination at the ticket purchase interface, such as not giving the past, which places need to do nucleic acid testing and so on.
Pay attention in advance, you are not afraid to buy tickets, only to know that you can't pass the situation.
Even poke in to view the details, you can also see whether the destination has a risk area, which is medium risk, which is high risk, and avoid it in time.
Perhaps 12306 is also afraid that everyone will run around without knowing the situation, so they are worried and do the function directly.
There is no need to jump to other apps to query, which is really practical.
Perhaps the organic friend complained: "Brother, why don't you introduce it earlier, I bought all the tickets." ”
Or when buying tickets, it is very different from the current epidemic prevention policy. After all, during the epidemic, change is too fast.
This update of 12306 may also take this into account. Therefore, the "Express Refund" function has been launched.
Express refunds
Its entrance is quite conspicuous, just in the lower right corner of the "My" interface.
We've bought all the tickets and are lying inside.
If you want to refund your ticket, it only takes two steps: refund - confirm, it's as simple as that.
May be confused by organic friends, this is different from the previous refund in the "My Ticket", what is the difference?
It's called an epic update, and it's certainly not that simple.
In addition to making the entrance for refund more conspicuous, the biggest feature of "Express Refund" is that it not only provides services 24 hours, but also supports "login-free refund".
If you buy a ticket on the 12306 App of this mobile phone at that time and refund the ticket here, you don't have to log in again.
And that's not all.
There are really such people around the brother, usually rarely use 12306, may be used twice a year during the Spring Festival, so the account password is forgotten.
Lo and behold, this official update announcement also deliberately lists this situation:
When buying tickets, it may be offline to buy tickets, or it may be bought on behalf of other platforms, so you don't need to use your own 12306 account. As a result, I want to refund the ticket online, but I forgot the account password, and it is estimated that my mentality is about to collapse.
Fortunately, there is no need to log in now, as long as the name, ID card, and mobile phone number are entered correctly, the ticket can also be refunded.
The magic process has finally changed, just rush this, the friends are not in a hurry to upgrade the App?
If the above mentioned is the function optimization of the 12306 App, then the next one to be mentioned is the epic update of the 12306 ticketing logic.
The machine brother first reviewed several situations for everyone to see if the blood pressure came up?
The first is that ticket sales end until 23:00. It's just that for some people, only at night are available to see the tickets. The service stops at 11 o'clock at night, is it a little early?
The second is that the ticket cannot be refunded within 25 minutes of driving. Some people get up late and rush to the station to see the car start running, and they can't refund the ticket if they want to.
The deadline for the third standby ticket is set at most 6 hours before driving. But many times, the remaining tickets are released a few hours ago.
Indeed, the reality is very complex.
So now, 12306 has changed the logic of the entire ticketing system.
Ticket sales, refunds and changes have been greatly changed
Many people reacted that the daily ticket sales ended too early. change!
Except for Tuesdays, the ticket sales period is changed to 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. the next day. Even if it is a night owl, there should be plenty of time.
You can't get a refund within 25 minutes of driving, which is a bit unreasonable? change!
Now you can get a refund before you drive.
By the way, the brother reminded that 12306 launched the "cloud change" function last year, if the car has started, you can change the day another car online (provided there is a ticket).
Also, is the deadline for standby tickets too early? Change too!
As long as it is 2 hours before driving, it can be set as a standby ticket.
It can be seen that this time 12306 is a major adjustment to the time of the entire system and becomes more human.
Do you think that the recent wave of updates of 12306, fist to flesh, all hit the pain point?
As a national app, strive to take care of the needs of different people, continuous improvement, which must give praise ah...
In fact, if you want to buy a train high-speed rail ticket during the Spring Festival, you will encounter many problems. Brother Ji has written in succession in the past few years, here is a one-click review for everyone:
- Is third-party acceleration ticket snatching reliable? What about the official standby ride?
- What should I do if my tickets are sold out? Can I buy short multipliers?
- Can I change my visa online after driving? What should I do if I lose something? Can seniors apply for special care?
Coupled with today's article, the machine brother feels that he has explained the 12306 App thoroughly.
If you still want to continue to watch the new features of the machine brother next year, remember to vigorously poke "likes" and "watching"!
