It has long been a headache that inadequate railway service results in severe ticket shortages notably(especially during the Spring Festival). The situation was worsened as scalpers stockpiled tickets and resold them at higher prices for fat profit margins. For this reason, the name-based train ticket system was piloted and finally implemented nationwide.

　　The system requires passengers to have their real names and identities registered and checked when they buy the train tickets and board trains, which plays a significant role in cracking down on the illegal activities of scalpers. Meanwhile, it also has some effect on reining in various criminal acts and safeguarding passengers' lawful rights and interests.
