Students will be able to use their four annual single-trip discounted tickets at any time, eliminating the previous restriction of only being eligible for use during winter and summer vacations.
The discount travel range will be made more flexible. While the location of the school a student attends must match the student's official records online, their family residence can be updated without limit to accommodate changes, allowing students to plan trips more freely.
Discounts now cover multiple unit trains for second-class, first-class, and sleeping berths. Conventional trains remain unchanged, offering discounts on hard seats and hard sleepers.
Students who complete eligibility verification in advance will no longer need to present their student ID during travel. New students can use admission notices to purchase discounted tickets.
