“Quiet coach”is ideal for those who crave for an absolute quiet environment, either for work or rest.

Such a dream will be made a reality by the end of this year on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed trains, where seats in the 'quiet coach' can be requested when booking tickets on 12306.com.

No surcharge was mentioned in the report, but the operator said on Oct.25 that it will roll out relevant terms and conditions a passenger has to comply with using these coaches, including setting electronic devices in silent mode.

Another major update on this line is expected to be pricing.

Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway Co Ltd. announced on Oct.23 to adjust the price according to market response.

A dynamic pricingmechanismdependingon demandwill be offered to replace the current fixed-faresystem.

Thenew roll-out will allow a discount up to 10% for passengers. The same goes for the opposite with up to 8%.

The adjustment will take into effect 2 months later, and will only apply to trains with a 300-500 km/h speed train this time.
