It's no wonder it's called the bullet train
with the front resembling a bullet.
with the front resembling a bullet.
Imagine a world
where you can cut your travel time in half at a reasonable price. Well, you
don’t have to imagine it, because China has created a high-speed railway line
that can reduce a 24 hour travel day into just an 8 hour train ride for as low
as $140. China plans to introduce this railway system to the public this month
and release four different models that will operate on this railway. During the testing period the trains beat the
world record by traveling at a speed of 302 miles per hour. Anyone who gets
motion sickness should probably stay clear of these trains, which will travel
at speeds of up to 186 miles per hour. With speeds this fast, you could get
from South Beach to Orlando in less than 2 hours when it normally takes about
3.5 hours to drive. This would make seeing Mickey Mouse a lot easier. Families
could spend more time at the happiest place on Earth and less time in the car listening
to the kids ask “Are we there yet?” But
until America creates a similar system, you will just have to go to China to
travel at the speed of light.
