Liabilities exceeded 6 trillion yuan! My country's high-speed rail ticket costs 800 yuan, but why doesn't it support China's railways?
Right now, real estate development is very sluggish, and many companies have started to go bankrupt and have very large debts. In addition to real estate in China, there is also a national company with super-high debts, and this company is closely related to our life, almost everyone has dealt with this company.
Because basically everyone traveled by train, most of us Chinese take public transportation during Chinese New Year or on business trips every year, but mostly go home by train, so trains and high-speed rail are commonplace. an important mode of transport, so Why is China's high-speed rail debt still very high?

As long as it is an industry related to lives of ordinary people, it is mainly controlled by state in order to reduce influence of foreign capital on livelihood projects of our Chinese people and reduce various threats they pose to lives of our ordinary people.
The state is very discreet and focused on all aspects of our basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, so rail transport, which includes all China's transportation problems, is also a completely state-controlled company. That is, it is totally national enterprise, so why is the country operating at a loss?

Ultimately, for our common people. But we ordinary people may have a question, because so many people take train and high-speed rail.
And price of ticket is not particularly cheap. Although it is a little lower than by car, so many people buy tickets after they have taken car. Why is this rail transportation still unprofitable? That's why we want to know urgently.

The first reason is low ticket prices and large investments.
The cost of building rail transport is very high, we all know cost of building it. Early-stage investment is very high, and during operation, labor and maintenance costs are also particularly high, requiring a large number of maintenance personnel. to ensure safety of train traffic.
And train can carry passengers and cargo forward, so it still needs special personnel to operate it. For example, train drivers and train crews, including cleaners, electric vehicle personnel and skilled workers, must pay wages of these workers.

To be clear, ticket prices in China have never been raised again, except for a small increase in 1990s, and they remain until today.Ticket prices have never been increased.
We all know that inflation and economic development lead to rapid depreciation of yuan, so when this year's price is same as current price.

The cost of wages and rapid rise in production costs have caused all rail transport companies to lose money. If there are a few more passengers on this railway line, losses will not be so big.
Especially as some unpopular city rail transport, whether made by someone or not, it will be hacked. In this case, losses are very large and fast.

The second reason is scale of construction and layout of railway.
China's railways serve people, so even in remote Xinjiang and Tibet, where geographical conditions are very poor and construction cost is very high, we Chinese live in this place, Chinese country. he started building Tibetan railway.
Enter Xinjiang Railway, the route of this railway is very long, our rail transport network in China is extremely huge, it can be said to surpass any country in world, our China The number of railway kilometers is already sum of previous countries.

The basis of our China's strongest faith, faith in serving people and faith in developing economy, is construction of high-speed railways, public transport and rail transport.
We all know that on long railroad route to Tibet, it took huge price and super high cost to build a very complex railroad. The cost of planning and building such a railway is far beyond our imagination.

And even after hundreds of years, cost will not pay off, because entry costs for this line are huge, and there are very few passengers on line, so building this kind of railway is basically impossible. This is not for purpose of obtaining profit, it is entirely for livelihood of Chinese people.
If you know more about ticket prices in other countries in world, you know that China ticket prices are very low in world rankings, our Chinese government wants most people to choose a convenient railway life transport, and losses are norm.

Only countries and governments that serve people will be willing to do so, so people overseas are very jealous of low ticket prices that we Chinese can enjoy, and assessment of Chinese government's approach is especially high .
Although China's railway debts are increasing year by year, China is still actively developing its railway transportation to allow more people to enjoy protection and rights of country. We believe that great motherland will always support us. Live happily and to work a lot.
