A scarcity of train-seats following on from New Years family reunions in China has driven sales of adult incontinence diapers. Trains after New Years festivals are often so packed that passengers even crowd into the toilets, making it impossible to relieve oneself on the long journey.
Many supermarkets in Foshan, a city in South China's Guangdong Province, have reported an increase in sales of about 50 per cent…
…This often makes it almost impossible for passengers to pass through and reach the toilets and they are forced to go without relieving themselves for the whole journey.
"In this period, a common train has to transit 2,000 passengers, with only around 1,000 seating tickets," Zhang Dazhi, an officer of Guangzhou Railway Group, said.
