EnterTheVoid Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Abe, read this: The Shinkansen (新幹線?, new main line), also known as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by four Japan Railways Group companies. Starting with the Tōkaidō Shinkansen in 1964,[1] the network has expanded to currently consist of 2,387.7 km (1,483.6 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240–300 km/h (149–186 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-shinkansen with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph) and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services.[2] The network presently links most major cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, with construction of a link to the northern island of Hokkaido underway and plans to increase speeds on the Tōhoku Shinkansen up to 320 km/h (199 mph).[3] Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 581 km/h (361 mph) for maglev trainsets in 2003.
urbestfriend Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Pffffffft. Rajdhani Express: Maximum Speed, 150 Kmph Bullet Train: Maximum Speed, 300 Kmph. Some even go as fast as 600 Kmph. You want bullet train to travel within the city?? :blink:
EnterTheVoid Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Japan does. And they introduced this back in 1964 :hahaha:
Roshanrocks Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 You want bullet train to travel within the city?? :blink: Yes... of course... The bullet train will have Ejector seats.....the passengers who have to get off at the next stop 10 kiliometers away, will be given parachutes for safe landing.. No Problemo... :beee:
EnterTheVoid Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Seriously, those dabba trains are not the way to go. Bullet trains are faster, more efficient and even cleaner to run. If there was a bullet train connecting the north and south, i'd hitch a ride on them instead of catching a plane.
Roshanrocks Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Japan does. And they introduced this back in 1964 :hahaha: Great!!! Lets all move to Japan :woot:
EnterTheVoid Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Yes... of course... The bullet train will have Ejector seats.....the passengers who have to get off at the next stop 10 kiliometers away' date=' will be given parachutes for safe landing.. No Problemo... :beee:[/quote'] Abe Roro, they are capable of going 300 Kmph. Doesn't mean, they go 300 kmph in and around the city. They probably reserve that speed for interstate lines.
urbestfriend Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Not for metro ...For long distance, Indian Railaway is already doing feasibility study to introduce bullet train which might be a reality sooner. But I rad somewhere that it is too expensive and cost like 5-6 rs/KM to make any profit which is a definite hindrance for a country like India where Railway travel is synonymous with cheaper travel.

EnterTheVoid Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 then whats the use? Metro can run upto 80 kmph and thats quite sufficient for us :beee: 80 Kmph vs 500 Kmph for long distance interstate travel? 500 Kmph is as fast as a farking plane man.
Sir john Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 IF THERE is a bullet train than anyone can reach kanyakumari from jammu withinh 7 hours. himstabdi express take three days for this.
Sir john Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Japan does. And they introduced this back in 1964 :hahaha: why you want everything fast?
Roshanrocks Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 80 Kmph vs 500 Kmph for long distance interstate travel? 500 Kmph is as fast as a farking plane man. We are talking about Bangalore city... Metro is enough for us :beee: You can buy the bullet train from Japan and drive it around if u want...
Sir john Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 We are talking about Bangalore city... Metro is enough for us :beee: You can buy the bullet train from Japan and drive it around if u want... shuru tooh hone doo :orderorder:
Roshanrocks Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 shuru tooh hone doo :orderorder: woh toh ye sall me ho hi jayega...
akshayxyz Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 arey abhi to US mein bhi nahi hai super fast trains.. metro hee ban jaaye to kaafi problems solve ho jaayein.
punjabi_khota Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Sree is confusing metro (which is for intra-city travel) with the bullet (which is solely for inter-city, even in Japan). The intra-city trains in Japan don't travel >100 KMPH.
Sachin=GOD Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 there's going to be a bullet train in India also - although the project will start in 2015.
