Incredible. And I´m sure you´ll implement it when feasible. Beijing to Shanghai in 1.5 hours. Yeah! People in many cities around the world travel from one suburb to the other in 1.5 hours.

I don't see it's feasible for at least 10 years.
Anyway, for the future, cheers!

Railway fans have already dreamed of CIT500 tested on a 500km/h+ railway!

From Aug 1st, new standard tickets will be used

1, paper ticket (non-automatic check-in/out)

2, magnetic ticket (automatic check-in/out)

3, ticket sold on train
Since Aug 1st, all train will be equipped with online ticket machine. Previously, ticket machine on train was not linked to central ticketing system, so only standing ticket was sold on train.
@TaiShang @ahojunk @powastick This is really helpful, one can buy and upgrade ticket on train.
