TRAIN fares should be around 1 percent lower from next month following the repeal of China's decades-long compulsory insurance policy. From January 1, an insurance fee will not be added. Compulsory railway insurance has been criticized as unfair and a contradiction to China's insurance law, which says nsurance should be voluntary.
A provision that sets a maximum 150,000 yuan (US$24,060) compensation in accidents and 2,000 yuan for lost luggage has also been deleted.
China ended similar compulsory insurances for ship and plane travelers in 1987 and 1989, Xinhua news agency reported.
