On September 5, the official website of 12306 officially started selling tickets for the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. In order to facilitate the elderly to book tickets for the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the 12306 website also underwent an aging-friendly transformation, and the relevant functions were officially launched on September 1.

The optimized 12306 website supports screen reading software to obtain complete information on the web page, can provide barrier-free auxiliary tools, supports zooming in and out, adjusting color, voice recognition and other functions, and also optimizes the login verification code, providing two forms of verification: slider verification and SMS verification.

According to statistics, there are currently 25 million users over the age of 65 registered on the railway 12306 website. The implementation of aging-friendly and barrier-free function modifications will effectively solve the practical problems encountered by the elderly and people with disabilities when purchasing tickets online.

At the same time, the railway department has also retained offline channels such as cash ticket purchases and manual services, strengthened reservation services for key passengers, and provided convenience for the elderly and people with disabilities to purchase tickets and travel.

In terms of the 12306 mobile APP, it supports the mobile screen reading function to obtain complete screen information, optimizes the login verification code, and provides two forms of verification: slider verification and SMS verification. There is no need to log in through complex image verification.

It also has features such as large fonts, large icons, and high contrast. The standard version also adds font and contrast setting functions. Users can adjust the font size and contrast by themselves, and can easily switch between the standard version and the love version.
