What is the hard seat of the train like?

The hard seat of the train is the seat in the car, similar to the second-class seat of the high-speed rail. Each row is divided into 3+2 rows with an aisle in the middle. The hard seat has five seats in each row, separated by a passage, with two benches on one side and three benches on the other. Although it is called a hard seat, it is not a hard seat.

Hard seat is a kind of seat type on China railway trains. Compared with other seat types, the hard seat is relatively simple, the seat is relatively hard, there is no backrest adjustment and recliner function, and there is no privacy and isolation space. Hard-seat cars are usually more crowded than soft-sleeper, hard-sleeper and soft-seat cars, and the fares are relatively low, which is an economic choice.

Hard-seat cars are generally equipped with two or three rows of seats, and each row of seats usually has five seats. The window seats on both sides can be tilted, but the middle seat can't be tilted, which is uncomfortable.

Because the price of hard seat tickets is more affordable, so in some short-distance trips, commuting, students going home and other circumstances, hard seat is the first choice for the majority of passengers. It should be noted that due to the crowded hard seat space and the large flow of people in the carriage, hard seat tickets are often hard to find. It is recommended to book in advance or choose other seat types to ensure the ride demand.

Introduction of other seats:

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. However, hard seat is one of the cheapest ways to ride (the price of no seat equals hard seat), so it is loved by the broad masses of people, especially migrant workers.

However, due to its low price and the sale of "seatless tickets" in hard-seat carriages, there are many people in the carriages during peak hours, and the hygiene, environment and comfort are not ideal, because there is no strict management like sleeper carriages. 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.
