Internet ticketing, the advantages and disadvantages?

January 8 is the first day of the Spring Festival this year. This year is also the first Spring Festival after the full implementation of the real name system and Internet ticketing.

Of course, the purchase of Internet telephony is a development trend, which is in line with the wishes of most people. However, due to the fact that relevant work is not yet in place at this stage, the success rate of online shopping tickets is quite normal. At the same time, the promotion of online ticketing has affected the rights of some people.

On January 4, "Wenzhou City Daily" published a letter from a Chongqing-based peasant worker named Huang Qinghong to the Ministry of Railways. In his letter, he said that he had queued for tickets four times at the train station, but he still could not do so. The staff told him that buying tickets online and on the phone may be faster than waiting in line. However, online and telephone ticketing is more unrealistic for migrant workers living in hardship than for overnight queuing.

The Spring Festival has always been a “disaster” for everybody who wants to go home: In just 40 days, an unprecedented 3.2 billion people will come and go on the 9.6 million square kilometers of land. Of course, everything will happen. All are built in the case of buying tickets. In the past, regardless of the cultural level of the passengers, they had to go to the station ticket outlets to purchase tickets in order. Each passenger had equal opportunities for trading. With the implementation of online ticketing methods, knowledge quickly turns into a competitive advantage. Being familiar with computer-operated passengers not only saves time and effort, but also provides more preferential trading opportunities. This in fact discriminates against migrant workers who will not have computers. The Ministry of Railways has the responsibility to work hard to eliminate this kind of discrimination. The root cause of this discrimination is not the Ministry of Railways. However, a small train ticket, like a chemical test strip, is extremely sensitive to the imbalance of rights of different classes when they enjoy public resources and fair trading opportunities.

Those migrant workers who do not know how to use the Internet to purchase tickets have a vague but obscure face. Most of them were born in remote rural areas. They had never had a good education since they were young. Working in cities has mainly depended on selling their talents to make a living. They are overwhelmed by the body, but they can only receive a meager salary. If the low social situation is mainly due to the serious lack of knowledge and skills, then the problem that is worth tracing back is that the reasons that lead to serious shortage of knowledge and skills are mainly not in themselves.

Similar phenomena are also commonplace in other incidents. Now governments at all levels are making great efforts to strengthen the construction of government affairs websites. Many rules and regulations are published on the Internet. However, a large number of low-income groups cannot afford to buy computers and they will not be able to access the Internet. They also do not know how to write to the functional departments to reflect problems through the government affairs website. As a result, a lot of information for farmers was published on the website, but the farmers did not see it.

In the past year, Weibo has become a common practice among governments and officials at all levels. However, on the other hand, there are still many more people in China than Weibo users will not use microblogging, and even do not know what microblogging is. The energy of government departments and officials is limited. When they focus their efforts on publishing information through the Internet and listening to opinions as a basis for judging the priority of various problems, those who cannot reach the network - most of them Being a vulnerable group like farmers, even the chances of attracting the attention of the government are reduced. Now many peasants have to use the Internet to reflect the problem, because only in this way can it attract the attention of the government. But who knows that those peasants who do not know how to use Internet skills are spending a lot of hard work before moving their demands online?

The idea of ​​relieving the stress of the Spring Festival through urbanization has a long history. The solution is probably not to enhance the transport capacity. During the non-Spring Festival, non-Golden Week period, tickets are not hard to find. Even if there is money, increase investment, significantly increase capacity, and solve the demand for Spring Festival travel. Who will pay for over 300 days of idle capacity in that year? Domestic scholars believe that at present, China’s economic development is unbalanced and a large number of people flock to developed areas such as Beishangguang. The fundamental way to solve the pressures of the Spring Festival is to achieve a reasonable distribution of economic structure, further urbanization, and protection of the legitimate rights and interests of people entering the city. To significantly reduce the purpose of the floating population in order to ease the pressure of the Spring Festival. Obviously, the implementation of this method requires a long period.

Whatever the reason, it is not a reason why migrant workers can't buy tickets. Some migrant workers do not know how to purchase tickets online, they can coordinate the purchasing of the capital, and they can also initiate social forces to help solve the problem. It should be said that it is not very difficult to solve them. However, to solve the problem of the low quality of education for migrant workers, peasant workers, children's groups and peasant groups, the government needs to make arduous efforts. Pushing and widening, allowing different social groups to enjoy equal public services, fair national treatment and fair trading opportunities is an inherent requirement of a harmonious society, and it is also an ambitious and inescapable proposition of the times.
