Take-out Food Now Available on Bullet Trains in China

As of July 17, 27 high speed train stations are providing food ordering service to their bullet and high-speed train passengers. Passengers: It's so convenient for us to order fast food on bullet trains.

Chang and his colleagues took train G1276 from Shenyang to Zhengzhou at 11.30 on July 17."My friend told me that an ordering service is available on bullet trains. I used to eat fast noodles on trains when I was on business. Today, I ordered food from KFC on the 12306 app. When I arrived in Tianjin West Railway Station, I got the food. It's so convenient," he said. The 12306 app was created by China's Ministry of Railways to provide take-out food from a list of restaurants at different high speed train stations. Passengers must order food two hours before the train arrives at their station. They also need to pay delivery fees.

Deliverer: The app's delivery couriers wait for trains on the platform and hand over the food to the train's staff.

All food prices are the same as for eat-in food. Because it is a new service, some foods are slightly discounted. From July 17, bullet train and high speed railway passengers have been able to place orders on the 12306 app. There are 27 pilot high speed train stations providing the ordering service, including Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Shenyang, Changchun, Wuhan, Jinan, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing and Lanzhou.

If passengers encounter problems with the take-out food, they can complain on the 12306 website.
