仅半数人买到春运车票

Half people haven't a ticket

A survey conducted by Beijing Times shows that only 100 out of the 203 interviewees who are striving for a train ticket home have managed to secure one during the travel peak between Jan 26 to Lunar New Year's Eve. Those who haven't succeeded have either given up trying, or have resorted to other options such as car sharing, taking a coach or plane. Of the 100 lucky ones, 49 bought their tickets online, 16 got theirs after queuing at the station, 20 purchased theirs at ticket offices, 9 made reservations via phone and 6 had someone else or certain organizations buying for them.

《京华时报》对203名普通春运买票族的调查显示，仅100人表示已成功购得1月26日至除夕期间的火车票，其他人或放弃回家，或选择拼车、大巴或坐飞机回家。100人中，49人通过网络成功购票，16人排队购得，20人在订票点购得，9人通过电话购得，还有6人托朋友或单位关系购得。

[退票严重与一票难求并存]

About 50,000 tickets have been returned each day in Beijing recently, according to Liaoning TV. Besides changing their plans, passengers are using multiple channels to buy tickets at the same time, which also leads to the refunds.

据辽宁卫视统计，最近几天，仅北京一地每天的退票量就有约5万张，而退票的原因除了行程变化，还包括多头购票导致一人买到多张火车票。
