High-speed rail is public service, not a gravy train for monopoly

CHINA RAILWAY CORP, the State-run railway company, will adjust the ticket prices for high-speed trains in certain southeast provinces starting on Friday. Most of the ticket prices will go up, and the ticket price from Ningbo in East China's Zhejiang province to Shenzhen in South China's Guangdong province has risen by over 50 percent. Legal Daily comments:

Many people have expressed concern about the decision, saying the price hikes are too much. China Railway responded that the National Development and Reform Commission, the nation's top economic planner, has authorized the adjustments.

That explanation is rather weak. As a State-run enterprise, China Railway cannot act like a purely commercial company and it must justify its decision to raise ticket fares, especially as some ticket fares are going up by more than 50 percent.

Wang Mengshu, a senior expert on high-speed railways, pointed out another flaw with the company's explanation: It said by raising ticket fares it will improve services, but did not specify how.

It would be more reasonable for the company to improve its services first; then raise ticket prices. So one cannot help but ask: Do they really plan to improve services?

Actually, the higher ticket prices are likely to prompt some passengers to choose other means of traveling. If the number of passengers on the lines concerned drops dramatically after the higher ticket prices are introduced, then the total revenue will decrease, that will be a waste of public resources used by the railway company, as well as an additional burden on passengers, who are also taxpayers.

The NDRC authorized China Railway to adjust its ticket fares last January, and this is the first time the company has attempted to exercise that authorization, we hope the monopoly will do so in a reasonable manner.
