我國(guó)東南沿海高鐵票價(jià)21日起將迎首次調(diào)整。
今年2月,中國(guó)鐵路總公司發(fā)布公告稱,將對(duì)東南沿海高鐵開行的時(shí)速200-250公里的動(dòng)車組列車(bullet trains running at 200 to 250 km per hour)的公布票價(jià)進(jìn)行優(yōu)化調(diào)整(optimization and adjustment)。本月21日起,東南沿海高鐵的車票將不再"一刀切",中國(guó)高鐵迎來第一次跨省調(diào)價(jià)(price adjustment)。
東南沿海高鐵由上海至杭州、杭州至寧波、寧波至深圳三段組成(consist of three sections),滬杭段全長(zhǎng)159公里,杭甬段全長(zhǎng)155公里,甬深段全長(zhǎng)1309公里。滬杭、杭甬段時(shí)速300公里高鐵動(dòng)車組票價(jià)不在調(diào)整范圍。據(jù)悉,滬杭段一等座價(jià)格將上調(diào)51%(prices will go up by 51% for first-class seats on bullet trains traveling on the section from Shanghai to Hangzhou),二等座上調(diào)14.3%;杭甬段上調(diào)幅度最小,一等座上調(diào)13.7%,二等座上調(diào)12.5%。而寧波至深圳段一等座普遍漲幅超50%,二等座漲幅則在16%-20%左右。
中國(guó)鐵路總公司相關(guān)部門負(fù)責(zé)人表示,此次票價(jià)調(diào)整前,東南沿海高鐵長(zhǎng)期執(zhí)行國(guó)家1997年批復(fù)的高等級(jí)快速軟座票價(jià)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(follow the price standards for high-grade soft seats that were approved by the country in 1997),明顯低于同區(qū)段公路票價(jià)(lower than highway fairs in the region),不利于各種交通方式合理分工和充分競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。票價(jià)優(yōu)化調(diào)整后,旅客乘坐高鐵出行,在旅行時(shí)間和票價(jià)方面仍具有一定優(yōu)勢(shì)(still enjoy some advantages in traveling time and ticket price),而且有利于改善公司的經(jīng)營(yíng)狀況,不斷更新改進(jìn)服務(wù)設(shè)施和條件,為旅客創(chuàng)造更好的旅行環(huán)境。
同濟(jì)大學(xué)鐵道與城市軌道交通研究院教授孫章表示,中國(guó)鐵路總公司多年虧損,運(yùn)營(yíng)壓力巨大,高鐵票價(jià)調(diào)整應(yīng)充分體現(xiàn)公益性與商業(yè)性的統(tǒng)一(reflect both public and commercial benefits)。他認(rèn)為,把東南沿海D字頭列車調(diào)價(jià)作為試點(diǎn)是可取的(feasible),因?yàn)闁|南沿海屬于我國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)達(dá)地區(qū)(economically developed region),高收入人群和商務(wù)人士(high-income and business people)將快捷、舒適作為首先考慮因素(place priority on fast and comfortable services),對(duì)票價(jià)的漲跌相對(duì)不敏感(less sensitive to price changes)。票價(jià)調(diào)整被視為鐵路市場(chǎng)化改革(market-oriented reform)的重要一步,有助于吸引更多社會(huì)資本進(jìn)入鐵路行業(yè)(attract more private capital into the sector)。
