纸质火车票将正式退出历史舞台

Railway officials say that after September 30, paper tickets will stop being used. Instead, people will use e-tickets. Many people feel a bit nostalgic — they often look at old tickets, talk about past train trips with friends, and even share those memories online.

The topic “Paper train tickets will officially become a thing of the past” became a hot topic on Weibo on Monday. Many netizens shared old paper ticket photos on social media. Some people think electronic tickets are good. They say e-tickets are easy to carry — you don’t have to worry about losing them. And you can check your train times and seat number on your phone anytime. But other people are worried. They are especially concerned about older people, who may find it hard to travel by train without paper tickets. On a paper ticket, the carriage and seat numbers are easy to see. But now e-tickets are more common. It’s not easy for some elderly people because they aren’t used to smart devices. So some netizens worry whether older passengers will find it hard to travel by train later.

To make the change easier, there’s a transition period until September 30, 2025. During this period, people who need paper tickets can still get them. Now, only one month is left before this period ends. After that, paper train tickets will be a thing of the past.
