Recently, some netizens found that 12306 has launched the "change seats in the car" function, that is, when taking the same train, tickets are purchased in sections, and passengers do not need to get off the bus on the way, and directly change seats in the car
Tips for changing seats in the car on the 12306 platform
What is the difference between the in-car seat transfer scheme and the previous intermediate transfer?
Seat change rules
On September 23, the customer service of the 12306 platform said that the seat change function in the car was just launched recently, and it is a function provided for users who have not grabbed a direct ticket. In the past, consumers were required to check one by one, but now the 12306 system can give priority to calculating the route of this train and make prompts, and users can buy tickets for the same train in sections, and change seats directly on the bus at the transfer station.
In terms of fares
According to the inquiry, according to different discounts, the fare of changing seats in the car is slightly higher than the direct fare, and some are the same as the direct fare.
