High-speed trains out of reach

Although there have been more high-speed trains this Spring Festival, migrant workers still prefer to "fight their way out" on ordinary trains, because of the price, says an article on People's Daily. Excerpts:

High-speed trains are indeed spacious, clean and well-equipped, and they are known for their quality service and fast speed, but all these excellent attributes cost passengers more money, which is simply not affordable for most migrant workers. Therefore, the construction of high-speed railways is more than just a technical problem as they should meet the demand as a whole, especially the demand of low-income consumers.
