In China’s Hunan Province, this train also allows vegetable baskets—and even sheep, chickens, and ducks—on board. It’s like a moving market on the rails. The ticket price is very low, from ¥2 to ¥12, and has remained unchanged for 50 years.
Some people argue that the train is outdated, but the authorities stated that as long as people still need it, the train will never stop.
By the way, leaving aside how wholesome this whole thing is, that price is crazy! Even if i take an average of 7 Yuan, that’s less than 1 Euro! A ticket on even the cheapest, slowest regional rail here in Germany will cost you at least ten times that.
