Train ticket glitch results in a lawsuit

Visually impaired man pushes company for apology, compensation

A court in Beijing's Haidian district earlier this month accepted the lawsuit of a visually impaired man who was suing China Railway Corp, asking for compensation and upgrades to the official train ticket website 12306.cn to make it easier for people like him to buy tickets online.

The man, who asked to be identified only as Chen, said he brought the lawsuit on Jan 25, and the court accepted the case a couple of days before Spring Festival.
