| First class seat | Pilot 30% | 78% |
| Second class | Not implemented | 65% |
3. Comparison of international high-speed rail seats
Recently, the topic of comparison of high-speed rail between China and Japan has attracted attention. The standard configuration of each carriage of Japan's Shinkansen is 20 rows of seats, with a 2+2 layout. In contrast, China's high-speed rail achieves higher passenger capacity through differentiated arrangements.
| country | Typical row numbers | Seating density | average ticket price |
