Ah, that.
I did not think to look for it, because its trip time is 30 minutes, not 60.
On diligent search, managed to find such as well
Shenzhen-Guangmingcheng
second class 14 yuan 5 jiao
first class 19 yuan 5 jiao
VIP seat 24 yuan 5 jiao
business class 39 yuan 5 jiao
Seeing that the travel time Shenzhen-Guangmingcheng is 9 minutes, which class is worth the price difference?
Any interesting destinations there?

Though, I did make the most of my dusk visit to the area and enjoyed some street eggplant and leeks. Hopped on a public bus to Shuanglong then took the long metro ride back into Luo Hu.
(By the way, there's nothing near Shenzhen North station either...)

Me. Second class is perfectly OK in many situations and sometimes is the only thing available. No need for the rolleyes.
I shudder to think what you'd do if the only way to get from point A to point B in timely fashion was a ride in standard train hard seat.
