Dear MEL Topic Readers,
National train ticket site adds waitlist
function
Great news for railroad travelers in China
during the busy travel seasons. During the Chinese New Year travel season, as
many as three billion trips are made all over the country. It is hard to get
train tickets for the destination at a desired time and day via any travel
booking site or agency. One might try
checking the booking website frequently hoping to find if any seat becomes
available because of cancellation.
Now, you have an option to be waitlisted on the
app of the China Railway Corporation. When the desired train tickets become
available, you can get them automatically. Great news for holiday travelers. But
you need to be preauthorized to get this service through facial recognition and
prepayment. Is that troublesome? Don’t worry. It’s China. Almost any application, interaction, or transaction can be made via smartphone. The great technology
platform of China may give a chance to desperate travelers to get to the
platform.
One footnote. This wait-listing service is
available only until 7 pm on the day before the train’s departure date. Is that
too late to get things organized to go on a trip?
Enjoy reading the article and learn how
things are getting convenient with smartphones in China.
