For many college students, going back home for the Spring Festival proves to be an ordeal. Despite the efforts of queuing up for several hours or even days, some students still cannot get the tickets. As the last resort, they would turn to the train ticket scalpers. According to numerous media reports, illegal ticket deal has become a flourishing and well-organized business.Though illegal train-ticket dealing does help some homebound people, oftentimes ticket scalpers sell fake tickets. Consequently, those with fake tickets will be punished by train ticket inspectors. Furthermore, suspicion of scalpers being hand in glove with railway employees has already resulted in the public anxiety and anger, which will pose potential threat to the social stability. While the railway infrastructure cannot be improved right away, the only solution to the illegal ticket dealing depends on the efficiency of railway system management. If the ticket distribution system is reliable, then scalpers will eventually find their flourishing business doomed.
