To alleviate the supply-demand strain caused by the difficulty in obtaining tickets during the Spring Festival travel season, the Ministry of Railways held a national railway video conference on the 15th of this month, introducing new policies such as increasing transport capacity, suspending some services to ensure passenger transport, and extending longer routes. It also offered its sincere apologies to passengers regarding the issues related to ticket distribution. Please read the report in China Daily: Short-distance passenger trains will be suspended to make way for more long-distance trains. Hard sleeper cars will be replaced by seats. The ministry will also redirect passenger trains serving the northeast and northwest regions to southern and eastern China, and improve the schedules of temporary trains. To increase the number of long-distance trains, the Ministry of Railways will temporarily cancel some short-distance trains, with seats replacing hard sleeper cars. The Ministry of Railways will also redirect some trains heading to the northeast and northwest to the south and east China regions, and add additional special trains. When you go home, will you choose a hard sleeper or a hard seat, a soft seat, or a soft sleeper? Many people choose to take the additional temporary trains, but there is a possibility of encountering temporary stops. “\"Hard sleeper\" and \"soft sleeper\" can also be referred to as hard-berth sleeper/soft-berth sleeper, or semi-cushioned/cushioned berths. For example: There are four classes on the train: soft berth, hard sleeper, soft seat, and hard seat. The prices are lowered accordingly. (Trains are divided into four categories: soft berths, hard berths, soft seats, and hard seats, with ticket prices decreasing in order). Here, “temporary” means “temporary”; it can also be used to indicate something that is “short-lived or momentary”, such as temporary failure (a brief period of malfunction). During the Spring Festival travel rush, in response to the increased passenger flow, many temporary provisions were introduced.
