What's the difference between railway passenger freight rate and high-speed rail freight rate?

High-speed rail is a kind of high-speed railway train. Compared with the traditional railway train, it runs faster and has fewer stops, so the freight rate of high-speed rail is higher. In China, the pricing of high-speed rail is usually market-oriented, and it is adjusted according to factors such as the balance of supply and demand and the ability of consumers to pay. In contrast, the freight rate of traditional railway is relatively low, because the traditional railway has higher operating cost, slower speed and more stations, so its market share is low. In addition, the running cost of high-speed trains, especially EMU trains, is higher than that of traditional railway trains. The equipment and technology of high-speed trains are more advanced, which requires higher maintenance costs and the technical level of crew members. These reasons all lead to higher freight rates than traditional railways to a certain extent. When the government formulates domestic railway freight rates, it usually considers the income level and passenger flow in different regions and formulates different levels of freight rates. In addition, because the railway passenger transport market is relatively mature, the possibility of owning it in a certain period of time is also high. The railway drawer also considers the fare classification of VIP tickets, business seats, first-class seats and second-class seats. At the same time, it will also consider a variety of factors, including policy factors, to formulate. To sum up, there are some differences between the formulation of high-speed rail and traditional railway freight rates. The freight rate of high-speed rail is more influenced by the relationship between market supply and demand and consumers' ability to pay, which is higher than that of traditional railways. However, the traditional railway freight rate formulation takes into account many factors such as income level and passenger flow in different regions.
