China to start pilot system of name-based train ticketChina to start pilot system of name-based train ticketBEIJING, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- China will pilot a system requiring train travelers to buylinear actuatortickets with their own personal IDs to crack down on hoarding by scaplers during the annual transportation peak.
