Many passengers complained on China's social media platforms that they had bought tickets in advance, but were denied boarding by railway staff because of overloading-the result of some passengers buying short distance tickets but refusing to get off at their corresponding destinations.

很多乘客在社交媒體上抱怨稱，他們提前買了票，但是列車員以超員為由不讓他們上車，而超員的原因是部分乘客“買短乘長”的行為，即購買了短途車票，但是到站后不下車。

“買短乘長(boarding with short-distance tickets but traveling to farther destinations)”本來是鐵路部門為滿足部分乘客臨時變更到站的需要而提供的應(yīng)急便利措施，這一類乘客可以在途中找列車員辦理補票手續(xù)(pay to extend their tickets)。

但是在出行高峰期，“買短乘長”行為增多則會損害提前購票乘客的合法權(quán)益。

中國鐵路總公司5日表示，為確保鐵路運輸安全秩序，維護良好旅行環(huán)境，鐵路部門會根據(jù)客流情況，決定是否辦理越站補票手續(xù)。

The railway will decide whether to allow passengers to purchase extension tickets after boarding based on the current passenger numbers and the number of pre-sold tickets for the next station.

鐵路工作人員會根據(jù)當(dāng)前車內(nèi)人數(shù)、前方站預(yù)售車票情況，決定是否辦理越站補票手續(xù)。

Passengers who insist on staying aboard but fail to pay for the extended trip will be charged an extra 50 percent of the extension ticket price upon arrival.

如果旅客沒有按規(guī)定補票強行越站乘車，到站后鐵路部門將加收已乘區(qū)間應(yīng)補票價50%的票款。
