You can book tickets on Trip.com using your passport number.

Name spelling on your booking must exactly match your passport.

At most stations you can scan your passport to go straight through gates.

Popular routes sell out fast during holidays, book 7–10 days early.

Some older smaller stations still require picking up paper tickets.
