Recently, a video of "hanging curtains under the train" went viral on the Internet, causing widespread discussion. This small incident has far-reaching significance, it puts the right to use the lower berth in the car, and also exposes some long-standing misunderstandings about the design and use rules of the lower berth.
The cause of the incident
An elderly man in his 70s wanted to sit in the lower bunk to rest on the train, but found that the lower bunk had been used by two young people and hung a curtain. The old man was not satisfied, so he took out his mobile phone to take pictures. Of course, this move can be too subjective and impulsive. And the two young people, although they did not do it well, from their point of view, the lower bunk was also within the scope of normal use. The key reason for the controversy in the whole incident is that the spatial attributes and rules of use of the lower bunk have not yet been clarified.

Official response
12306's response shows a conscientious and responsible work attitude. It noted that in the past there was no explicit prohibition on the use of fencing, but that the right of others needed to be secured through negotiation. This shows that the lower berth is not exclusive to anyone, but should safeguard the legitimate interests of all parties. The statement of 12306 has a deep meaning and can be described as pertinent.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Netizens said: If it is inconvenient to get older than the upper bunk, you can buy the lower bunk directly, instead of occupying the lower bunk that others spend money to buy!
Netizens said: Isn't there a seat in the aisle? Why do you want to sit on someone else's bunk?
Netizens believe that the design of the train sleeper should be improved, the space between the middle and upper berths is too small, and the upper berth can not raise their heads, so the upper berth should be canceled, and only the lower and middle berths should be retained, so that the middle berth space is large and you can sit on it, and there will be no contradictions.
Netizens said: 60-year-old including 60-year-old to buy a sleeper, 12306 will automatically identify the lower bunk, 70-year-old I want to ask her how to buy the upper bunk.
Netizens said: Buy an upper bunk for more than 70 years, and then get in the car to play moral kidnapping? Add 200 to the lower bunk and someone will change it with you in minutes.
Netizens said: So, it's not okay to sit on the bottom bunk and eat a meal in the middle bunk?
Write at the end
In the long run, the root of the problem lies in the fact that the design arrangement does not clearly stipulate the rules for use, which is prone to subjective misunderstanding. For example, it is not clearly indicated whether the ticket buyer of the lower berth has full access rights, and when and under what conditions the passengers of the upper middle berth can use the lower berth for a short period of time. It's no wonder that disputes arise.
Overall, the underlay problem is a systems engineering problem. It involves many aspects such as space design, riding rules, and the interests of all parties. To solve it, it is not possible to rudely divide rights or defense areas, nor should it be one-sided to agree with one party, but more importantly, it is necessary to proceed from the overall situation and take into account multiple criteria such as efficiency, humanization, fairness and justice.
Any solution needs to balance the interests of all parties. For example, it can be made clear that the lower berth is mainly used for lower cabin passengers, but it is also allowed to be used for a short time by upper and middle cabin passengers without affecting others, and at the same time, publicity and education should be strengthened to inform passengers that they know where the bottom line is. The key is to treat each other with courtesy and be more considerate of each other.
In fact, with the popularity of transportation modes such as high-speed rail, the problem of lower berths is becoming less and less popular. However, this incident may provide a reference for the railway authorities to carefully consider the clearer and more humane rules and guidelines for each passenger when designing the carriage structure next time. It is only through meticulous improvements that every passenger can feel respected and cared for when traveling.
