The difference between hard seat, hard sleeper, soft sleeper, first-class seat and second-class seat

Generally, trains are divided into hard seats, hard sleepers and soft sleepers; There are only first-class and second-class seats for bullet trains and high-speed trains.

Train hard seat, also known as hard seat, is a kind of train seat, which is divided into three seats and two seats. The short distance is tolerable, and the long distance is very uncomfortable, especially the green ordinary train. There are five seats in each row of hard seats, separated by walkways. There are two benches on one side and three benches on the other side, and the cushions and backrests are less filled.

First, the difference between soft sleeper and ordinary hard sleeper:

1, relatively large space, 1 room for 4 people.

2. The environment is comfortable and quiet. Sleeper is slightly wider than ordinary hard sleeper, so it is more comfortable to sleep.

3, the price is more expensive than ordinary hard sleeper.

Second, the difference between first-class and second-class seats:

1, different widths

The seat width of the first-class car is different from that of the second-class car. The seat of the first-class carriage is wider and more comfortable, and it can move freely on the seat, and the position of the foot is wider.

2. Handrail buttons are different

The first-class seat is provided with a button for adjusting the chair back and a button for adjusting the volume of headphones. If you bring headphones, you can plug them into the jack of the armrest and listen to classical music, pop music or traditional music at random, which can alleviate the fatigue of the journey.

Extended data:

In addition to hard seats, there are several modes of riding on the train, such as no seat, soft seat, hard sleeper, soft sleeper and dining car teahouse. But hard seat is one of the cheapest ways to take the train. Because of its low price, it is loved by the broad masses of people, especially migrant workers.

However, due to its low price and the "seatless" tickets for hard-seat cars, there are many people on board during the peak period of transportation, and the hygiene, environment and comfort are not ideal. Because there is no strict management like sleeper cars, the overall situation of public security is not ideal.

However, with the improvement of the service quality of railway departments in recent years, the price-performance ratio of hard seats on trains is getting higher and higher, and the comfort is improved.
