So far, many people have advised to apply real name system to blogs and cellphones. Take cellphones for example, I guess that many of you receieved spam or scam messages from others. Sometimes, you are disturbed by others. To solve such problems, real name system is very effective. At present, some guys suggest that real name system should also be applied to train tickets buying.

The Spring Festival is approaching and many people want to go back home. Train is the best choice, cheaper, convenient and safer. However, buying train ticket is not a easy thing. I had this kind of experience when I was in college. Even those who have tickets sometimes can not get on the train because there are so many people. A newspaper reported a girl was crowded out of the train and was killed by another train. What a tragedy!

Why is it so hard to buy a ticket? A large population is a factor but there are also other factors. Some guys do business with train tickets. They buy many tickets and sell them to those who are in need of tickets at high price. Those passengers have no other ways but to buy tickets from them. On the other hand, a certain amount of people have connections with railway staions so that they can easily get the train tickets. Once a reporter said that he found near 50 percent people in a carriage got their tickets resort to connections. Really unbelievable! Compared with them. those ordinary people are in trouble. Some of them have to give up their plan of getting back home.

To apply real name system to train ticket buying, such phenomena and problems will be settled effectively. What do you think of this idea?

"We have tickets but can't get on the train. Who should be responsible for this?" This is what people on the photo thought.

I strongly advise to apply real name system to train ticket buying. In this way, those who have connections with the officials or staff in the railway station can't get ticket easily and those 'businessmen' are sure to go broke. Also those rofficials in ministry of Railway should experience themselves in buying a ticket. Then they will understand how hard it is. However, this suggestion has been refused. Just hope that girl's tragedy won't happen again and those who have tickets in their hands can get on the train.

Paul, you hit the nail on the head. To solve this problem thoroughly, building more trains and railways are the key. The spokesman of the Ministry of Railway said that the situation will be changed till 2020 because more railways and trains will be made. But I have a question:"What can we do before 2020, just waiting and waiting?"
