China State Railway Group said its revised Passenger Transport Regulations take
effect on June 1. The rules add a provision to restrict future ticket purchases
for passengers who travel without a valid ticket and refuse to pay the fare. The
revision also formalizes popular services — including passenger e‑invoices,
student concession tickets and lost‑property shipment — into the rulebook (19
changes: 16 amended, 3 deleted), and redefines ticketing concepts (purchaser,
traveler, connecting tickets) and optimizes clauses on mis‑boarding and baggage
delivery deadlines (8 changes: 7 amended, 1 deleted).
