The Situation

At 上海虹桥高铁站 (Shanghai Hongqiao High-Speed Railway Station | Shànghǎi Hóngqiáo Gāotiě Zhàn), travelers are surrounded by the efficient 铁路网络 (railway network | tiělù wǎngluò). Many go to 售票处 (ticket office | shòupiàochù) to buy tickets for the 动车 (high-speed train | dòngchē) and check 列车时刻表 (train schedule | lièchē shíkèbiǎo) for their 车次 (train number | chēcì).

Passengers pass through 安检 (security check | ānjiǎn) and 车票验证 (ticket verification | chēpiào yànzhèng) before boarding. Many use 站内导航 (station navigation | zhànnèi dǎoháng) and listen to 车站广播 (station announcements | chēzhàn guǎngbō) to find their way to 乘降区 (boarding area | chéngjiàng qū). They are aware of 紧急情况 (emergency situations | jǐnjí qíngkuàng) and know the procedures for 紧急撤离 (emergency evacuation | jǐnjí chèlí).

On the train, they interact with 列车员 (train attendants | lièchēyuán) and follow 乘车规则 (travel rules | chéngchē guīzé) for a safe trip. They appreciate the convenience of 列车追踪 (train tracking | lièchē zhuīzōng) and access to 乘车指南 (travel guide | chéngchē zhǐnán) for any questions.
