Recently, a short video on the Internet of "the old man complaining about the young man hanging the curtain under the sleeper" has aroused heated discussions among netizens. The online video shows that on a train, an aunt complained that the young man hung a curtain under the sleeper and did not let the 70-year-old man sit, and called on netizens to comment on it. In the picture, two opposite bunks are hung with curtains, and behind the curtain a young man sits with his head bowed, ignoring the accusations. The video went viral on the Internet, and related topics once appeared on the Weibo hot search list.
Recently, there have also been messages from friends on the Changxing 876 public platform
After the release of the relevant video, public opinion was hotly discussed. Some people believe that the lower bunk is bought with real money, and the behavior of young people is understandable; some people think that it is okay for people to sit on the lower berth; and some netizens suggest that there is no place to sit and should be solved by the railway department.
In response to the phenomenon of "sleeper curtains", the railway department also responded. According to recent media reports, 12306 customer service responded that there is no clear provision that the curtain cannot be used, and it can be used without affecting other passengers, but it needs to be negotiated with all passengers. Regarding the right to use the lower berth, the media reported that the 12306 customer service responded last year: After the passenger purchases the ticket, the right to use the corresponding position is limited to the passenger who purchased the ticket. If a dispute arises during this period, you can contact the train staff to deal with it.
"The 'sleeper curtain' has aroused heated discussions, which is essentially a change in the concept of mass travel, that is, more attention is paid to personal space and use rights, reflecting higher expectations for travel experience. Fang Xu, a professor at the Party School of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee, said.
Many of the passengers interviewed said that the reason why some people think that the lower berth assumes a certain "shared" seat function has something to do with the design of the sleeper car: the space for the middle and upper berths is smaller, and the only table in the car is in the middle of the two lower berths. In addition, a regular hard sleeper usually has 6 sleeper seats, but only two movable benches.
Feng Zixuan, a professor at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, believes that according to the relevant provisions of the Railway Law of the People's Republic of China, passengers and railway transport enterprises constitute a contractual legal relationship, and passengers have the right to use the seats they purchase. From the point of view of fares, the purchase price of sleeper passengers is generally higher than that of middle or upper berths, one of the reasons is that the lower berth is more convenient to sit, and the value of overpaid expenses for lower berth passengers should be reflected. Passengers with lower berths are encouraged to give up their seats to passengers with upper middle berths, but it should be voluntary and should not be mandatory.
"It should be seen that the 'sleeper curtain' was complained about, behind which are the rights and demands of both parties, and also the people's higher expectations for the travel experience, but the number of lower berths is limited after all. As the mainland's aging population deepens, public services should recognize and respect this new trend, and use wisdom to solve the 'seat' problem from the source of resource allocation, so as to better respond to social concerns. Fang Xu said.
In January this year, the Ministry of Transport, the State Railway Administration and other six departments jointly issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Work of Barrier-free Travel Services for the Elderly", which clearly requires the optimization and improvement of the 12306 website, mobile phone client and other ticketing functions, and promotes the realization of automatic identification and priority arrangements for the elderly to choose the lower berth.
Feng Zixuan said that in the long run, we can further improve the relevant laws and regulations in the field of road traffic, strengthen the guidance of passengers, railway transport enterprises can combine the new needs of passengers, improve the quality of transport services, improve transport facilities, and reduce the occurrence of similar situations by providing sufficient seats for sleeper passengers and setting up love seats.
On the Internet, there are also many netizens who "support": set up reminders of mutual understanding next to the lower bunk, and the conductor will strengthen the relief and guidance of passenger conflicts...... The interviewed experts pointed out that the optimized design is ultimately inseparable from mutual understanding and respect between people, and it is indispensable to take care of each other when going out, and it may be more comfortable to get along with each other with more friendliness and tolerance.
Do you buy a bunk for someone else to sit on?
Under what circumstances will it be made?
Under what circumstances is it not likely to let go?
