At the Beijing South Railway Station, a new smart gate is using facial recognition to screen passengers.
The 'smart gate' takes a photo of the passenger while it's reading his or her tickets and identity cards.
That photo is then compared to information on a police database, with passengers only permitted to enter the station if the information is matched successfully.
Authorities claim the machines are streamlining the identity verification process, cutting it down to just a few seconds.
"I often travel by train. The system is much quicker than before. I like it. It only takes a couple of seconds."
"I think it's quite convenient and fast, and more efficient than before. It may also save manpower. I have more free time to arrange my own schedule as well."
Huang Xin, with the China Railway Corporation, says facial recognition systems are being employed at railway stations across the country.
"Currently over 110 railway stations in China have adopted the facial recognition system to ensure the passenger, the identity and the ticket all match up. Many passengers who use it once are very likely to use it again."
Other smart technologies being implemented1 include car-sharing services, smart navigation systems, shared massage2 armchairs in the waiting rooms, as well as online meal ordering on trains.
At the same time, the process of purchasing tickets online for the Spring Festival travel rush has also been upgraded with smart services.
Zhu Jiansheng, with the China Academy of Railway Sciences says they have adopted various technologies to optimize3 the online train ticket booking system.
"We have implemented a variety of risk management measures, such as a cloud-based query4 system for people still looking to buy tickets. We have also improved the verification code system to ensure that 90% of the passengers will not need to input5 these codes when purchasing the tickets online. The system structure and user interface6 of the mobile app have also been upgraded to provide passengers with a much more pleasant experience."
During the Spring Festival travel rush this year, authorities estimate that four out of every five train tickets are being bought online, with more than 10 million being sold each day.
