Word origin

商务座 (shāngwùzuò, "business class seat") combines 商务 (shāngwù, "business") with 座 (zuò, "seat"), using a business-travel label for a premium designated seat.

Usage tips

  • In everyday Chinese train travel, the label describes the service level of the seat, so it does not mean that only business travelers can use it.
