China railway passenger volume and ticketing management

Overview

China’s railway network has experienced significant increases in passenger volume. During a 62-day summer peak period from July 1 to August 31, the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. reported approximately 954 million passenger trips and 680 million tons of freight. To accommodate this demand, the operator utilized a summer train schedule and recently opened lines, operating an average of 11,623 passenger trains daily.

By August, the national railway system reached a record high for the period, transporting 3.32 billion passengers, representing a 3.9% year-on-year increase. In response to upcoming holiday travel rushes, the 12306 ticketing platform has implemented measures to combat fraudulent activity. Since September 23, the system has blocked 1.33 million fraudulent ticket issuances and utilized big data to target ‘technical scalpers’ using scripts and forged devices. Authorities have also flagged millions of suspicious transactions to prevent unfair booking advantages and warned against using third-party ‘speed-up’ services.
