This content is prepared for every friend who needs to take the high-speed rail to go out, and I will try to list all the details that I can think of for your reference.
Let's start with pre-booking. There are many places to buy tickets, generally from the 12306 official APP to book tickets, I personally use the Ctrip APP, the platform that can be used is almost the same, which is not a big problem. I usually buy tickets about a week in advance, and I can buy them when it's near, but I can't buy a good time slot, so I have to get up early in the morning.
When buying a ticket, you must pay attention to the date, the most common mistake is that the ticket you buy is a week later than the actual departure date, you obviously remember to leave this Thursday, but when you operate, your hands tremble, and you buy it until next Thursday. This is a very common mistake and should be taken care of.
After booking tickets online, you can go to the station, pick up the ticket from the offline booking machine, select "Get Reimbursement Voucher", and then swipe your ID card to get the ticket.
Of course, you can also buy tickets offline, just choose the ticket purchase function on its homepage, I personally prefer to use a machine to operate. If you don't know how to operate it with a machine, just ask a staff member, where is the ticket office? You can also buy tickets manually.
When buying a ticket, you need the passenger's real name, ID number, contact number and other information, which everyone knows, so I don't need to say more.
If there is a change in the itinerary, remember to change it in time, or refund the ticket, the general ticket is allowed to be changed for free once, and the second time it will not be changed. If it is a refund, the sooner the refund, the lower the fee, and the later the refund, the higher the fee, so it must be sooner rather than later.
This procedure is still the most convenient to do online, which APP you buy the ticket from, you can refund and change it from which APP.
When buying a ticket, you need to choose a seat, and there are three types of seats available, which are divided into business class, first class and second class. Second-class seats are generally five seats in a row, ABC three seats on the left, DF two seats on the right, CD by the corridor, AF by the window, and B block thirteen not by the side.
The first class seats are a row of four, with AC on the left, DF on the right, CD by the corridor, AF by the window, and a larger seat. The business seats are sometimes large recliners, sometimes leather sofas, and the numbering is theoretically ACF, but each seat is by the window and the corridor, and there is a lot of space.
When you go to the scene to take the bus, you need to swipe the ticket once, at this time, just take the ID card to swipe, and the paper ticket is useless here.
But I still recommend that you print out the paper ticket. The good thing about it is that it's easy to check where your ticket gate is, at least without having to pull out your phone. After getting on the bus, there will be occasional ticket checks, and you don't have to take out your mobile phone if you have this, and when you go back to the unit for reimbursement, you generally have to use such a piece of paper.
Because this ticket is very useful, there are always people standing in line in front of the machine that prints the ticket, except during cold hours. In contrast, there are not many people queuing in front of some special commuter card machines. It's clear who is just needed.
