The train fare is set by the Development and Reform Commission and other departments

Ministry of Railways Minister Sheng Guangzu said recently that after the Ministry of Railways withdraws, the train ticket will adopt market-oriented principles to set prices.

In this regard, whether to consider the train ticket will be implemented as a random, seasonal, holiday-style floating increase or decrease as in the airline ticket. Yang Chuantang, Minister of Communications, responded: "This is not a decision that can be decided."

He said that after the Ministry of Railways was merged into the Ministry of Transport, it had little impact on the price itself, and it was not that relevant. “The original price setting was different from the current one. The whole process has supervision, and the NDRC and relevant parties jointly set prices. ”

According to Yang Chuantang, railways, aviation, and water transportation all have a certain degree of public welfare. In the transportation process, railways, highways, water transport, aviation, etc. have been established into an integrated system of vertebral bodies, and the existing comprehensive railway system will also gradually improve. Better serve the people.
