According to the Oriental Morning Post's Xinhua News Agency, the Ministry of Railways disclosed that as of July 31, the average attendance rate of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has been 107% since its opening operation. A survey by the reporter found that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail currently has more than a few tickets for each trip compared to the phenomenon of “sold out tickets” in the early days of opening.

The Ministry of Railways disclosed on August 1 that as of July 31, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway had operated a total of 5,542 telecom trains since the opening of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway for a month, with an average of 179 daily averages; 5.259 million people were transported, averaging 170,000 people per day. The rate is 107%. The daily average of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and the existing Beijing-Shanghai line has sent passengers to 254,000 passengers, an increase of 94,000 from the same period of last year before the opening of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail, an increase of 58.8%. In response to equipment failures after the opening of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, the railway department conducted comprehensive and meticulous safety inspections on Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway equipment, quickly rectified problems, and strengthened safety and security measures.

At the beginning of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway opening, the ticket sales once appeared as morning full of afternoons, and even appeared in the morning with the phenomenon of “spot sold out”. That is, 12 hours ago, tickets from Shanghai’s entire point of departure were hot, and trains started in the afternoon were relatively empty.

On July 31, reporters logged on to the railway customer service center network to check the status of the remaining tickets and found that most of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed trains had second-rate tickets. The data on August 2 showed that there were G12, G2, G14 and G16 trains that had just been opened, and there were 414 seats, 372 seats, 630 seats and 624 seats in the second seat; from 13 to 16 hours The second class seat has more than 600 tickets.

The ticket sales staff at the train ticket sales office said on the 1st: “There are very few people who come here to buy (Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway) pre-sale tickets. There are so many tickets, basically all you can buy with you.”

At the same time, the ticket to the "Single Seedling" T110 train from Shanghai to Beijing is still in demand. The reporter learned from the customer service network on July 31 that on August 2nd, the T110 train, whether it is a soft sleeper, a hard sleeper, or a hard seat, showed that all the remaining tickets were “0,” and the same results were shown in the following days.
