Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen LexPan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 18 (Xinhua) according to the Ministry of Transport, the new version of the Railway passenger Transport regulations will come into effect on January 1, 2023, and the socially concerned rule that height determines the eligibility of children's tickets will soon be changed.

Children's train tickets can be sold by age or height:

If the real-name system of tickets is implemented, children who have reached the age of 6 and under the age of 14 shall purchase concessionary tickets for children; children who have reached the age of 14 shall buy full-price tickets.

Children with a height of 1.2 meters and less than 1.5 meters should buy concessionary tickets for children who do not implement the real-name system of tickets, and children with a height of 1.5 meters should buy full-price tickets.

In addition, the content of "overseating" has also been written into the "passenger regulations", stipulating that railway transport enterprises shall promptly report to the police if they find that they have altered or forged tickets or documents to ride, overseated or other acts that disturb order.

CTOnews.com learned that, according to previous regulations, children's discount tickets are generally judged only by height: 1.2m to 1.5m can buy children's tickets, 1.5m or more to buy full-price tickets. With the living conditions getting better and better, many children are growing rapidly, and there are many students who are more than 1.5 meters tall on the primary school campus.
