BEIJING -- China's transport departments will allow passengers to cancel their tickets of all transportation means nationwide without charging fees.

Under the policy, passengers who have previously purchased train tickets at railway stations, online railway ticket-booking platforms or other channels may cancel their tickets and get refunds for free.
This policy now also applies to airlines, long-distance coach services and waterway transport, with all fees waived for ticket cancellations.
The purchases of accident insurance shall be handled together, according to the departments.
