Thank you for your inquiry.

The ticket price on our website is the real ticket price, the same as railway station. The price will also be printed on paper tickets. You can check it after getting paper tickets too. However, we will charge a service fee USD5.49 per ticket for ticket booking service for most domestic routes. Hope for your advanced notice. Thank you.
