【新唐人2012年1月13日訊】2012年新年返鄉運輸，大陸鐵道部推出了「網絡實名制」訂票和「電話購票」方式，但民眾購票仍面臨困難，不僅不容易登入訂票網頁，撥打購票電話也經常出現繁忙的訊息而自動斷線，最近又有「鐵路信息費」一說，民眾撥打電話訂票，在不知情的情況下被扣取「鐵路信息費」。民眾紛紛指責：鐵道部欠債窮瘋了，出來搶錢了。

中共喉舌《新華網》報導，在95105105電話訂票系統開通前後,濟南鐵路局發佈消息:「電話訂票通信運營商僅收取普通市話費」。但撥打這支電話,除了收取普通市話費之外,還要收取每分鐘0.9元的「鐵路信息費」。

自1月8號大陸「新年運輸」開始，不斷有人網上抱怨電話購票撥打上百次屢試屢敗；訂票網站幾近癱瘓，購票不成反被扣款；目前又曝出民眾在不知情下，電話訂票每分鐘被扣取0.9元「鐵路信息費」，民眾紛紛發帖痛責鐵道部。

北京網友說，喪盡天良，那麽多人回不了家過年，它卻在那開心的數錢！

廣西網友說: 鐵道部搶起錢來一點不含糊，除了貪污，豆腐渣工程，草菅人命還能辦點人事不？

大陸律師李天天指出，這是一種變相搶劫。

大陸律師李天天：「這是它們快瘋狂的快完蛋的標誌，沒錢了嗎，去搶了嗎，我沒告訴你，但是我從你提包裡拿錢了，然後我自己給自己編個理由，你到我這來我就有權力從你包裡拿錢，哪有這種理由啊。」

深圳小果：「我這幾天撥了無數次95105105，火車票價才108塊，結果電話費就扣掉我200多，太坑爹了。」

一名南通網友在論壇裡寫道：鐵道部比黃牛黨更可怕，用手機打了3天訂票電話，一張票沒訂到不說，話費還花了300多，早知當初直接找黃牛訂票了，「鐵盜部」啊，真是讓我們這些屁民無語。

東北網友：「 7號那天至少打了3個小時電話，最後還是一張票都沒訂到，剛充值的200多塊錢的話費也沒了，太可恨了。」

記者多次撥打12306全國鐵路客服號碼，人工服務一直不能接通。

致電中國移動客服，工作人員表示：自去年電話訂票開通後,就一直收取「鐵路信息費」。

大陸律師李天天：「從法律上來說你沒有告訴我的這個收費項目你收了那種費，是不合理的，你還有另外的收費，你要提前通知，然後別人決定打不打這個電話，是吧，這才是合理的。他們這種收費應該是違法的，法律上嚴格的分析是違法的。」

去年11月，媒體曝光鐵道部因為債臺高築，造成國內在建項目9成以上停工。緊接著，一份《鐵道部拖欠上市公司賬款單》被媒體曝光，有36家上市公司向鐵道部追討2400億元的債務。

大陸東北部居民：「去年媒體不是說鐵道部欠的2萬億債，我看鐵道部是窮瘋了，用這種方式搶錢，叫民眾幫他們還債」

大陸財經評論人士吳知逢的博客文章《鐵道部欠的2萬億怎麼還？》，其中他說：也許，最後買單的是你、我、他。

Chinese Ministry of Railway Accused of Stealing Money

In the busy travel season before the Chinese New Year, the

Chinese Ministry of Railway has introduced new services.

Passengers can now purchase tickets online and over the

phone, but many people still faced difficulties.

There were reports that it’s hard to log into the ticket ordering

website, and the phone order line is often busy or cuts off.

In addition, there seems to be “Railway information

charge” associated with phone ordering.

Those who call the phone ordering number are

unknowingly charged a fee.

This led to many complaints that the Ministry of Railways is

going mad due to all its debts, and now it’s robbing money.

The regime Xinhua media reported that the phone ordering

number 95105105 is now live.

Also Jinan Ministry of Railway stated that the “Phone

ordering hotline will be charged the same as local calls.”

However, aside from the local call rate, there is also

a 0.9 yuan/min ($0.14/min) “Railway information charge”.

The Chinese New Year travel officially started on Jan 8.

Many people complained that the phone ordering service

failed after hundreds of attempts.

The online system is nearly paralyzed, and money is

charged without giving tickets.

And as mentioned, many people were unknowingly

charged the railway information charge of 0.9 yuan/min.

A Beijing resident commented on this issue online.

“A lack of conscience, so many people can’t get back

home; it [ministry of railway] is happy counting money!”

A Guangxi netizen wrote, “Ministry of Railway is so good at

robbing money.

Except for corruption, tofu construction, disregard for

human life, what else can it do?”

Mainland Lawyer Li Tiantian points out that this is

considered robbery in disguise.

Li Tiantian: “This is sign that it’s almost broke, so with no

more money, is it going to rob?

I (Ministry of Railway) didn’t tell you, but I’m taking

your money, then I will make up an excuse.

If you come to me, I have the right to take your money.

What kind of excuse is this?”

Netizen ‘Shenzhenxiaguo’ highlighted this point.

“I dialed 95105105 countless times, the ticket was only 108

yuan, but the phone call cost me 200+, such scammers.”

Another netizen from Nantong wrote, “Ministry of Railway is

scarier than ticket scalpers.

I called the ordering number for three days, but didn’t get

any tickets, only a 300+ phone bill.

If I had known, I would have bought them from a scalper.

Railway robbers, make us worthless citizens speechless.”

A netizen from Dongbei added their comment. “I called the

ordering number for 3+ hours on the 7th, didn’t get any ticket.

However, it used up my phone card with 200+ yuan on it,

so despicable.”

Our reporter tried to call the Ministry of Rail service number,

but wasn’t able to reach a service representative.

A service representative at China Mobile commented.

“Phone ordering always charged the railway information fee

since it opened last year.”

Lawyer Li Tiantian, “From a legal perspective, charging

without telling us is unreasonable.

If you have an additional fee, you have to announce it,

then people can decide. That’s the right way to do it.

The way they charged people is illegal, strictly illegal

from a legal perspective.”

During Nov of last year, media revealed that the Ministry of

Railway was overwhelmed with debt.

This had caused 90% of its constructions to stop.

A report revealed 36 different companies seeking payment

of 240 billion yuan ($38 billion) from Ministry of Railway.

A resident from Northeast China: “Didn’t media report last

year that Ministry of Railway owns 2 trillion yuan in debt?

I think Ministry of Railway is going insane, this is robbing

money, making people pay for its debts.”

Wu Zhifeng, a Mainland financial commentator wrote an

article on his micro-blog.

It was entitled “How does Ministry of Railway pay for the

2 trillion debt?”

His conclusion was that perhaps we all end up paying for it.
