It is said on the Internet that female passengers buy tickets by default as the upper berth of the train, and 12306 refutes the rumor: all tickets are issued at random.

CTOnews.com, November 13 (Xinhua) recently, a post titled "12306 has really tried his best to prevent molestation of women" has sparked a heated debate. The poster said: "the lower berth is all men, and young women default to the upper berth. I guess it is to prevent molestation of women."

CTOnews.com attached original text:

The lower berth is full of men, while the young women default to the upper berth. I guess it is to prevent molestation of women, after all, the police repeatedly broadcast that if there is molestation of women, do not calm down, immediately call the police, we will be there as soon as possible. Think about it, as long as you can climb up, in fact, this is also very good.

According to @ Polar News, 12306 staff responded to this, saying that the online purchase of hard berth and soft berth tickets are random, and there is no default upper berth for women to buy tickets. "only people over the age of 60 buy tickets. Will give priority to the purchase of the lower berth."
