Title: Fast Trains
Post by: joe_blow on February 08, 2013, 11:29:04 AM
How are subways and local trains in your city or town?

Living in Vancouver, BC we have a decent system, but too few lines. While in Tokyo I was really amaed at the number of trains all over the city.

Good afternoon, Mr. Blow.

Fastest trains I know of are in France and Japan. I think Japan's is the fastest.

Next they're gonna build one from Northern to Southern California.

South Korea has a fast train that runs from Seoul to Busan (the two largest cities, basically the opposite sides of the country) in two and a half hours.  It is a small country, but I think it's about as fast as Japan's shinkansen.
