Why are child tickets based on height and not age?

Because in fact, age is sometimes not very well defined, because there are no corresponding supporting materials such as ID cards to prove.

Most of the children's tickets in our country are defined by height. For example, when going to some amusement parks or buying some train tickets and the like, it is defined as a child's ticket based on the fact that the child's height is generally not more than 1.2 or 1.3 meters. This is also the decomposition method, the main reason is because although some children grow tall and some grow short, but on average, or according to their actual normal standards, there are still so certain norms or growth standards, so most of the children's tickets are based on height, although some children may grow taller, so he can't buy children's tickets, but for the vast majority of children, it is actually relatively fair.

In addition, children are still not allowed to apply for ID cards at this age.

As for other certificates, such as the need for a student ID, it can actually be forged or not very good, to define, so age is generally not used as the standard for children. But in fact, for children, this standard is already relatively fair, because in fact, children in a certain state, for example, in the sixth grade or even the first year of junior high school began to rise by leaps and bounds, this is the fastest growing period for children, and the previous children are almost all under one meter two, then these children can be called children, and the above can no longer be regarded as children. So there is actually some truth to this standard.

So don't doubt this based on height. Whether the logic is accurate or not, maybe she is not so filial to the standard, or 100% perfect, but for normal children such as average height, it is already very normal, or very perfect.

What is there to discuss here, isn't it all by age abroad? It's the same as the steering wheel on the left. It's good to get used to it,

1. Children with less than one meter of height do not need to buy train tickets.

2. If the height of the child is meters, where to buy a child ticket on the bridge.

3. Children who exceed the meter can purchase a full-price seat ticket.

At present, when purchasing real-name tickets at the railway ticket window, the real-name system is not implemented for children's tickets. When purchasing a child ticket, if the child has a valid ID card, he or she can be added as a frequent contact (if the child's valid ID card is a resident ID card, only registered users with a resident ID card can add the child as a frequent contact); If the identity information verification status is "passed", "please report for verification", or "pre-passed", you can purchase tickets. If the child does not have a valid ID card, he or she can use the identity information of the accompanying adult (name, ID type, and ID number are all the same adult) who has "passed", "please apply for inspection", and "pre-passed" to purchase tickets.

Child tickets can enjoy the discounts of passenger tickets, expedited tickets and air-conditioned tickets, and the price of child tickets is calculated at 50% of the published fare of the corresponding tickets and additional tickets. Children who travel for free and with a child ticket will be charged the full price of the sleeper if they use the sleeper alone, and the half-price air-conditioned ticket will be charged if they are air-conditioned. The seat class of the child ticket is the same as that of the adult passenger, and the arrival station cannot be far from the arrival station of the adult passenger's ticket.

There has been a heated discussion about whether children should buy limb tickets according to their age or height.

Everyone should have this experience when they go to play, whether it is by car or to a tourist area, children under 1.2 meters are generally free, and children under 1.5 meters will ask to buy half a ticket.

Nowadays, in fact, children's nutrition is very sufficient, and some children grow very tall, but their actual age is actually quite young.

For a long time, in these industries, height has been used as the standard for buying tickets, but now in fact, the height of gay men in many cities is much higher than the proportion once was.

There are many people who support the use of age to buy tickets, and in response to this matter, the Ministry of Transport has also responded, for example, 6-year-old children should be in the range of free children, or 1.2 meters tall.

In addition, the half-price of the ticket will also be preferential, ranging from 6 to 14 years old or 1.2 to 1.5 meters tall, so that you can meet the age and height, no matter which aspect can enjoy the relevant preferential treatment, so as to protect the rights and interests of children.

The emergence of this policy also makes everyone feel very relieved, because as long as one of the conditions is met, then you can enjoy relevant preferential treatment, so there is no fairness or not, and there will be no differential treatment at home.

As netizens said, some people may be adults, but they are relatively short, and they may not have reached 1.5 meters, so do they also enjoy the rights and interests of this half ticket? There are really children who are actually very young, but they grow very quickly, but they do not enjoy the rights that belong to children.

Therefore, the provisions of this policy is a very good progress, whether it is in the highway, waterway and passenger transport, you can enjoy the relevant preferential treatment, of course, this is only the policy of these highways and waterways, if the tourist area also uses this policy, it may take a long time, step by step slowly.

It is more reasonable to buy tickets according to age, Due to various factors, today's children are tall, and they are not old enough to be old, but when the height reaches the standard, they do not enjoy preferential treatment, which also makes many parents or children suffer from some psychological problems.

It's based on height. No matter how old you are, you must buy a ticket as long as you are tall. Failure to do so would be unfair to passengers.

Child tickets are based on height, and if the child reaches 1.2 meters, even if they are very young, they must buy a ticket.

Legal Analysis] Railway Passenger Transport Regulations (Revised Draft for Comments)" on ticket sales mentions: children over the age of 6 and under the age of 14 who implement the real-name ticket system can purchase child discount tickets; Children aged 14 and over should purchase a full-fare ticket. Each adult passenger with a ticket can bring one child under the age of 6 who does not occupy a separate seat for free. When there is more than one child, the number of children who exceed the number shall purchase a child discount ticket, and the child who is not subject to the real-name ticket system can purchase a child discount ticket if the height reaches the meter but is less than the meter; Children with a height of meters should buy a fierce or full-price ticket.

New rules for children's tickets].

Each adult passenger with a ticket can bring one child who is less than meters tall and does not occupy a separate seat free of charge; If there is more than one child, a child discount ticket shall be purchased. The seat of the child discount ticket shall be the same as the Zen Zhixiao ticket of the accompanying adult, and the arrival station shall not be far from the arrival station of the adult ticket. Children who are entitled to free rides in accordance with the above provisions shall purchase a child discount ticket when they occupy a seat alone.

Legal basis

The notice of the State Railway Administration on the public consultation of the "Railway Passenger Transport Regulations (Draft for Comments)" proposes that children who are over 6 years old and under 14 years old can purchase children's discount tickets; Children aged 14 and over should purchase a full-fare ticket. Each adult passenger with a ticket can bring one child under the age of 6 who does not occupy a separate seat for free. If there is more than one child, a child discount ticket shall be purchased.

It is worth noting that the change in the rule of "looking at age first, then looking at height" may also put forward new requirements for the corresponding work if it is implemented in more scenarios, such as the promotion of the real-name system. If the real-name system is not implemented, but to refer to the similar children's ticket classification standards of the National Railway, then, those children who are more than one meter tall may really face troubles, and must carry a real-name certificate with age information in order to enjoy the discount of children's tickets. There is no perfect mechanism, and everyone needs to adapt to the changes brought about by the new rules.

Child tickets are based on height. From the point of view of the railway authorities, the age standard of buying a child ticket means that it is inconvenient to manage, and the amount of work to check the passenger's household registration book and ID card is greater than that of measuring height. From the point of view of the attraction, if the child does not have an ID card, it is more troublesome to check the household register.

When riding the train, if the child is in meters, a child ticket must be purchased. Children under meter tall are free of charge. If the meter is exceeded, a full-price seat ticket must be purchased.

Children with a height of less than meters with spoiler wheels (including meters) can take the subway, bus or tram as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

Public transportation, scenic spots, entertainment venues, etc. usually set up children's tickets, and most of the children's tickets are charged based on the child's height. It is easier to operate than buying tickets by age.
