The construction of China's high-speed rail is an impressive achievement for the whole world, and for the country, high-speed rail is of great significance in all aspects. For most people, high-speed rail travel has also become the first choice.
But today, the situation seems to be different, and many years of experience in the railway tell us that many people would rather take a taxi or take a train than use high-speed rail, does this mean that the popularity of high-speed rail has passed?
In fact, if we think about it deeply, we will find that there are actually several significant reasons behind such a thing. The first is the price of high-speed rail, and as we all know, the price of high-speed rail is not low.
High-speed rail tends to have higher fares compared to traditional trains. This is due to the high construction, maintenance and operating costs of high-speed rail, which needs to take into account the high-speed operation of high-speed rail, comfortable riding environment and the most advanced technical equipment.
It is precisely because of the relatively high ticket price of high-speed rail that the price of first-class and business class on high-speed rail is extremely expensive, and from the perspective of wallet, many people feel that these prices are ridiculously high.
In addition, the current high-speed rail line does not cover every city. Some remote areas or small cities may not have high-speed rail stations, therefore, for those who live in these places.
High-speed rail is not a very ideal way to travel, but it will be more convenient to take a taxi. In terms of buying tickets, although the high-speed rail system will issue tickets fifteen days in advance, many people will choose to take high-speed rail because of its fast, convenient and popular high-speed rail.
resulting in a limited supply of high-speed rail tickets. At some popular times and on popular routes, high-speed rail tickets are often sold out, making it difficult for people to buy the tickets they want. This has led some people to lose interest in high-speed rail.
Secondly, in terms of transportation competition, with the development of private cars, civil aviation and other markets, people have more and more choices, not just relying on high-speed rail to travel. And as the competition for these modes of transportation becomes more and more fierce, the price advantage of high-speed rail is gradually compressed.
For example, long-distance buses, car self-driving, airplanes and other modes of transportation have been continuously optimized, and their prices and service levels have also been improved, which are not much different from the price of high-speed rail, and sometimes even cheaper than high-speed rail, so everyone is more willing to choose these modes of transportation.
While high-speed rail certainly has advantages, for many people, it becomes less significant when it is not necessary. If the service level of high-speed rail cannot maintain a leading position in the competition, it will naturally lose some customers.
Rich entertainment facilities, humanized services, high-quality catering services and other services all require advanced technical support and sufficient resource investment, and high-speed rail needs to continuously improve and upgrade related services.
In order to meet people's demand for better travel quality. However, technological innovation in high-speed rail often requires huge investment, which will affect the financial health of the entire high-speed rail company and increase cost pressures.
Therefore, it is still unlikely that high-speed rail wants to make changes in all aspects. It is in this highly competitive situation that high-speed rail is under increased pressure from other competitors and people are willing to try new ways of traveling.
The last reason is the continuous decline of high-speed rail services, which have been regarded as excellent in the past, with better services for first-class and business-class seats.
However, many people are now starting to feel the reduction of service rail companies in this regard. In the eyes of some passengers, the railway company is more concerned with "timing" than service.
High-speed rail has always been known for its punctuality, but it is obvious that high-speed rail frequently has problems such as delays and long parking times, and passengers want to arrive at their destination on time when choosing a mode of travel.
Therefore, if the high-speed rail cannot depart on time and arrive on time, there will be many times that passengers will be distrusted. Service attitude is an important part of the quality of high-speed rail services, and the staff of high-speed rail should be friendly, enthusiastic and professional.
If the service of the high-speed rail is not considerate, passengers will be easily unhappy, after all, it also costs a lot of money, and anyone will feel unhappy when they get such a service.
Although we say that the technology of high-speed rail is very advanced, it seems that it is limited to this, and modern society focuses on personalized and customized services. However, high-speed rail has not made major changes in this regard, so it cannot meet the individual needs of passengers.
However, such a trend does not mean that high-speed rail will become a thing of the past, on the contrary, it is also an opportunity to test and improve. High-speed rail can continue to play to its advantages, maintain service and cost-effectiveness, and let more people choose it again.
When the trend of high-speed rail changes, we should also think about what is the key factor for us to choose the first choice of travel, price, service or others? Only by understanding our own needs can we choose the most suitable travel mode for ourselves and enjoy a better travel experience.
