Man's FB post about how he ate stranger's leftovers at coffee shop sparks debate

“The passenger has paid for all the tickets and used the seats for her children,” said one netizen, supporting the woman. “It is her legitimate rights and interests that need no queries.”

There were some on the opposite side.

“It is a waste of public resources,” said one netizen. “The extra tickets she bought should be provided to other passengers who are really in need.”

“No matter how many ID cards have been used to buy the tickets, passengers who carry tickets can take up all the seats even if the tickets’ owners are not travelling together,” an officer from China Railway Group told the newspaper.

“When a passenger buys a train ticket, he has signed a relevant contract with the group. As long as the passenger does not refund or change the ticket, he has the right to authorise other passengers to use the seat.”

“The passenger’s behaviour couldn’t be defined as hogging seats,” said Yuan Zheng, a lawyer from the Qinzhou Law Firm in Shanghai, quoted by the newspaper. “However, according to the requirement of real-name tickets, the railway authorities can refuse to provide services to those who don’t match with the information on their tickets.”
