Shinkansen: Japanese Bullet and Maglev Trains

The Japanese word for “bullet train,” shinkansen can be directly translated as “new trunk line.” Japan’s creation of the shinkansen bullet train allows people to travel at speeds of up to 320km/h.

Yeah I'm sure they work until perfection from an engineering perspective and a lot of have to do with us being in the US and not being accustomed to stuff like this.

That being said going on train that fast would scared to ever-loving me shyt out of me.

We got Greyhound and Amtrak and have no concept of speeds like this on road/rail

Trains on tracks are safer than any other form of transportation.

lol some of the replies in here speaks to how the ultra wealthy have succeeded in keeping ordinary Americans in the Stone Age compared to other countries.

The stupidity of capitalism, or should I say it’s eventual inefficiency when it goes unfettered, is fully exposed by things like this. Because certain industries want to keep their short term gains going things like hi speed rail hasn’t made strides in America. All this when you could potentially create more housing, more jobs, hell even more opportunities for the industries currently stifling progress in just that one field.

The dollar over all culture in this country is sometimes a major detriment to overall progress.

I've always wanted high speed rail in the United States.

Simply seen something that fast scared the ever loving shyt out of me that's all

It's long overdue to connect this country by rail in a speedy and efficient manner

There's so many hurdles to actually get this implemented in the United States it'll never happen

- population scattered across 48 land-locked states
- The geography going from state to state
- these older tracks are built for cargo and not high speed rail
- The politics local state federal
- The property that they'd have to go through depending on what state or location..some of it might be private
- everyone will want their wheels greased to get a cut of the money
- competition from airports. Lobbyists.
- and whether we want to admit it or not the cost would be astronomical. The permits, the bulldozing, equipment and building new tracks
- neighboring states with all bicker over the costs and who gets what.

A lot of countries that got these rails were badly damaged during War II and were able to build their situation from the ground up with up to date infrastructures

We've been using a patchwork system.

Hell No

Man those things pull out stations pretty slow and don't speed up until you're out of cities. It's a very smooth ride and it's cheap as hell. Depending on your location they depart every 10-20 mins.

If you ever head out there, try them out

Facts. An open secret is that when it comes to transportation infrastructure, United States is one of the worst in the world
