TRIP.COM-S (09961.HK) opened 1.7% lower this morning (4th); with deeper plunge, it bottomed at HK$452.2 at one point. It settled at HK$456.8, down 5.78%, with trading volume surging to 6.8988 million shares, amounting to HK$3.174 billion. Xinhua News Agency published a commentary yesterday (3rd), pointing out that some platforms are packaging the official free waitlist ticketing function of the 12306 railway website as "paid privileges", launching so-called "acceleration packages", "VIP channels", and "dedicated ticket snatching" services so as to charge extra fees. When passengers successfully snatch tickets using the waitlist, such platforms attributed it to their "acceleration package"; even if they fail, the "ticket snatching software" bears no responsibility. The article argued that this model is opaque and misleading, potentially undermining consumer rights, and urged passengers to recognize official channels and avoid unnecessary extra expenses.
