The Railway 12306 mobile app, the State-run train ticket booking platform, has introduced two new functions ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival travel rush, aiming to enhance ticket booking convenience for passengers.
One feature allows passengers to fill the necessary information such as passengers' identities, train numbers and seat preferences before the ticket booking opens. As soon as tickets become available for purchase, passengers can submit the already filled form and make the payment. Currently, train tickets can be booked up to 15 days in advance.
Another new function serves as a ticket sale reminder. Passengers can set multiple reminders through the system based on different dates and times when tickets go on sale, reducing the risk of missing the booking window and disrupting travel plans.
