🚄 127 RMB (≈$18) — Changchun ↔ Changbai Mountain.
📈 Riders: ~2–3 million/yr (based on station data). 
👥 Locals: Jilin 24M, Changchun 9M, Baishan ~1M. 
What it means:
•Even if every rider were local (they aren’t), that’s at most 8–13% of Jilin residents taking one trip a year—the rest still pay.
•Per trip you get ~¥833–¥1,250 in hidden subsidy.
•Per year locals chip in: Jilin ~¥52, Changchun ~¥83, Baishan ~¥520—even if they never ride.
🇨🇳 Cheap tickets for visitors. A standing bill for residents.
That’s “social welfare with Chinese characteristics.”
