京广高铁开通，规划中的“四纵四横”高铁网络基本成型。铁道部现在拥有了高速和普通速度两个铁路网络。为了获得公众支持，高铁建设之初铁道部描绘的美好前景是“客货分离”，释放运能，可是以京广高铁确定的票价，“客货分离”所释放出的良好社会和经济效益却要打折扣了。

Jing guang high iron,The planned"Four lengthwise four horizontal"High speed rail network basic shape.Mor now with high speed and average speed two rail network.In order to gain public support,High iron construction at the beginning of the description of good prospects"Passenger and separation",Release the freight,But with jing guang high iron to determine the price,"Passenger and separation"Release the good social and economic benefit but to sell at a discount.

　　因为运输费用低廉且环保，铁路历来具有公益性质，承担着民众长途旅行的需要。高铁是新生事物，满足了部分旅游的猎奇需求，似乎不必计较票价，但至少也应该考虑成本和收益。京广高铁全车16节车厢，定员1028人。商务座两个车厢每车厢14座，每座2727元，每个车厢的收入是38178元；二等座11个车厢，每个座位865元，每个车厢的收入是65897元，明显是穷人补贴富人。现实中的补贴还要更多首趟广州开往北京的高铁，商务车厢的上座率远低于二等车厢。即便是865元的二等座，其价格也高出两地间卧铺价格的一倍，接近飞机的淡季打折机票价了。这意味着长途高铁所吸引的旅客绝大多数来自航空分流，或者是普通旅客“被高铁”。这里且不论高铁造价高昂，铁道部背负着2万亿元的债务，从高铁定价的细节上不难看出铁道部门提升其高档形象心切，把铁路的公益性抛在脑后了。实际上，京沪高铁开通后，京沪间原有的5对卧铺动车组已全部取消，“夕发朝至”的特快列车也仅剩T109/110一列，直接导致这趟车的极度拥挤和车票紧张。京广铁路虽没有停运京广间的长途列车，但中短途却有相当多车次停运。

Because of the low cost of transportation and environmental protection,Railway has have the nature of public welfare,Responsible for the needs of the people to travel long distances.High iron is new things,Satisfy the needs of the violence of the tourism,Seems to don't care about ticket prices,But at least should also take into account the costs and benefits.Jing guang GaoTieQuan car 16 carriages,Officials said 1028 people.Business bridge two cars every car 14,Every 2727 yuan,Each car's income is 38178 yuan;Coach 11 compartment,Each seat is $865,Each car's income is 65897 yuan,Obviously is subsidies for the rich to the poor.In reality subsidies need more high iron first trip to guangzhou to Beijing,Business car's attendance is far lower than second class carriage.Even 865 yuan of second class,Its price is also higher than two sleeper in the price of a times,Close to the plane of the off-season discount ticket price.This means that the long distance of high iron attracted tap the vast majority of passengers from airlines,Or the ordinary passengers"By high speed rail".Here no matter high iron cost high,Mor carrying debt of $2 trillion,From the high price of iron is not difficult to see on the details of the railway department improve its upscale image view,The railway public welfare behind him.In fact,Beijing-shanghai high speed after opening,Shanghai between the original 5 on a sleeper train has been cancelled,"Fresh in to"The express train also only T109/110 a list,Directly result in the packed bus and the tickets.Beijing-guangzhou railway no halt jing guang long distance between trains,But there are quite a few ZhongDuanTu halt trains.
