【知识点：compartment和carriage有什么区别】

铁路客车上一节一节的车厢在英式英语中一般用coach或carriage表示，美式英语中常用car表示，乘客车厢就是passenger coach或passenger car，卧铺车厢中独立的隔间叫compartment。火车上其他功能的车厢还有：行李车厢（baggage car）、餐车（dinning car）、卧铺车厢（sleeping car）、硬座车厢（chair car）等。

A flexible pricing mechanism was also initiated, offering preferential ticket prices for commuters and frequent travelers.
此外还推出了灵活定价机制，为常旅客和商务出行人群提供优惠票价。

【知识点】

自2020年12月23日起，京沪高铁公司对京沪高铁运行时速300～350公里的高铁动车组列车公布票价进行优化调整。根据客流情况（passenger flow），区分季节、时段、席别、区段等，各站间执行票价将以公布票价为上限，实行多档次、灵活升降的票价体系，为旅客出行提供更多选择。

The railway has also stayed profitable since 2014. The net profit of Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway Co. Ltd. (BSHSR) surged at an annual average of 39.4 percent between 2014 and 2019. In 2020, the railway remained profitable despite the impact of COVID-19.
