BEIJING, Apr 4 (GCTL) - A subsidiary of China Railway Corporation (CRC) launched a high-speed train express service, a move that reflects CRC's determination on market-oriented reform although the new service is just a beginning.
The service, which is operated by CRC's China Railway Express Co Ltd (CRE), is available in 20 cities that are connected by high-speed trains, China National Radio (CNR) reported, adding that with the high-speed train network expansion, CRE will further extend service to other cities.
By using the high-speed train, CRE also provides same-day delivery, which means the parcels can be received on the day they are dispatched, a staff member of CRE, who declined to be named, told the Global Times Tuesday, Reuters - Global Times reported.
