It is estimated that 0.246 billion people will be transported by train. Have you experienced Spring travel peak? Although summer travel peak is not as frightening as Spring travel peak, it is still hard for people to buy a ticket. On July 3rd, about one thousand people were sleeping on the square of Beiing West Railway Station. Some slept on their luggages. Some slept on several pieces of newspapers. A passenger to Gansu said that it was better sleeping on the square than in a hotel because the outside is cooler and you do not need to spend money. No.1

During Spring Festival, most of Chinese peopple go home to visit their parents. For Chinese people, the lunar new year is the most important. The common ground is that it is hard to buy a ticket. How can we solve this problem?
