火车票实名制的好处与弊端

　　In some southern cities, railway station offices and authorized agencies have begun selling name-based railway tickets. Requiring a valid form of identification, the real-name system said to be effective in curbing scalping, especially during the Chinese New Year travel peak.

　　Though the aim of introducing real-name train ticket is fully justified, it has brought about some problems. One problem is the leaking of personal information. Buyers names and ID numbers printed on the tickets may be used to make false certificates or for other purpose once the tickets fall into the wrong hands .Another is that the complicated system and check-in process add to the already heavy workload of the railway workers.

　　In my view, the name-based train ticket system is bold try to ensure passengers security and an effective weapon against notorious scalping, Since it is new-born and needs time to perfect itself, we should treat fairly the current problems it brings. I believe that with people s awareness of privacy protection enhanced, and with the development of technology, the problem will soon be things of the past.
