Core Viewpoint - The discussion around the pricing of standing tickets versus second-class tickets on high-speed trains has gained significant attention, with arguments suggesting that standing tickets should be cheaper due to the difference in service quality [2]. Pricing Mechanism - The current pricing for standing tickets is determined by the railway transport enterprises based on guidelines from the National Development and Reform Commission, adhering to laws such as the Price Law and Railway Law, and is subject to a multi-tiered pricing system based on market conditions [2].

Market Dynamics - There is a concern that if standing tickets are priced lower, it may lead to a situation where more passengers opt for standing tickets, resulting in fewer purchases of second-class tickets, which could ultimately lead to a scenario where standing ticket holders occupy second-class seats without paying the full fare [2].
