My View on Train Ticket Scalper

For many college students, going back home for the Spring Festival proves to be an ordeal.

Despite the efforts of queuing up for several hours or even days, some can not get the tickets.

As the last resort, they would turn to train ticket scalpers.

According to numerous media reports, illegal ticket deal has become a flourishing and well-organized business.

Though illegal train-ticket deal does help some home-bounded people, often times ticket scalpers sell fake tickets. Consequently, those with fake tickets will be punished by train conductors.

Furthermore, suspicion of scalpers being hand in glove with railway employees has already resulted in the public anxiety and anger, which will pose potential threat to the social stability. While the railway infrastructure can not be improved in the near future, the only solution to controlling the illegal ticket deal depends on the efficiency of railway system management.

If the ticket distribution system is reliable, then scalpers will eventually find their flourishing business doomed.
