As early as the fourth season in 2018, trials (试验) for the e-ticket will begin at many pilot stations and the service will become useful all over the country in 2019, according to the Wuhan Railway Bureau.

Many netizens (网民) believed that paper train tickets could become extinct someday “As an environmentalist, I am very happy to see we’re moving into the times of paperless ticketing, as will save a lot of trees.” User@blingblingsu said on China’s Twitter-like Weibo.“Finally, I don have to wait in line to get the paper ticket which is a waste of time and makes me afraid of missing the train,”another user said.
