Show Measured for R. R. Tickets When traveling by train in China one often sees the strange and amusing spectacle of child passengers passen-gers being carefully measured with a ruler by the conductor. The reason for this is that in China the fares for children traveling on trains runs not in proportion to their age, but in proportion to their height. Children under two feet six inches are allowed to travel free; those up to four feet four inches are charged half fare. Children Chil-dren taller than that have to pay the full fare. |
