We all know that students can use their student ID cards to buy tickets. Then, do you know when they can buy tickets? How much discount can I get for a train ticket? How to deal with the difference between the travel range of the train ticket and the preferential range on the student card?
1. When does the student card buy the train ticket?
Valid period of student train ticket: winter vacation from December 1 to March 31, summer vacation from June 1 to September 30. Students who travel at other times will not be able to enjoy half price discount. This time refers to the date of departure stated on the ticket, not the date of purchase.
2. How much discount can I get for a train ticket?
Student passengers can buy hard sleeper tickets with their student ID cards, but not half price. The price is equal to the full price of hard sleeper tickets - half price of hard seats on the same train; second class seats on EMU trains enjoy 75% discount of the full price tickets. Student tickets are not available for soft seat, soft sleeper and EMU first class cars.
3. How to deal with the difference between the travel range of the train ticket and the preferential range on the student card?
According to the railway regulations, student tickets should be sold strictly according to the bus section on the student card, and cannot be purchased in sections. The discount zone of student train tickets should be sold according to the near route or the train with less transfer times, but the far route with less transfer times after the through train can also be sold. When students need to take other means of transportation when they go home or return to school, they can buy student tickets in sections after confirmation on the principle of no detour.
Different railway stations have different understanding of the policy. Some railway stations can and some cannot.
