Passengers who only hold a standing ticket take a rest in the corridor connection aboard the K814 train from Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, to Chongqing Municipality, on Jan. 17, 2013. An online appeal to lower the price of standing tickets, received the support of some 150.000 netizens. A survey showed that more than 90% people favor the proposal for the simple reason of different prices enjoying different onboard services. Most of the standing ticket holders are migrant workers, and railway authorities should take care of this special group. The opposition on the other hand holds that the number of standing tickets should be limited and not lowered out of overcrowding and safety concerns. [Photo/Xinhua]
