Why China Has the Best Railways in the World

China has the largest network of high-speed trains in the world. It stretches a whopping 15,500 miles all over the country. But while that all sounds impressive, I can't help but wonder why they’d spend a fortune on building such a vast bullet train network when airplanes exist?
First, most central train stations are downtown, so you can easily reach them by subway. You don't need to go through extensive pre-boarding security. And even if there are some delays, they don't happen too often and are much shorter than those at airports. Also, with their wider seats, more legroom, and freedom to move around, modern bullet trains offer their passengers more comfort. That's only the beginning of the list of reasons why high-speed trains rock.

SUMMARY:
-First, you need to get to the Beijing airport. Then, you must find your way in this huge multi-terminal transportation hub. Chances are that your flight will be delayed. And then another problem is that airspace in China is incredibly congested.
-You can hand over as much as $500 for a Beijing-Hong Kong plane trip. But the same journey by train will cost you much less: around $150.
-Salaries in China are significantly lower than in the West, which means less money goes to construction workers. Also, high-speed railroads are built with the help of local materials, and that's great for both saving money and supporting the regional economy. But the most important thing is that all railroad parts, such as tracks and embankments, are all standardized.
-In the nearest future, they're going to build a 48-mile-long high-speed rail line between Zhoushan that will include a 10-mile-long tunnel running under the sea, making it the first underwater high-speed train tunnel in China.
-Shanghai Maglev reaches the top speed of a mind-blowing 268 miles per hour, so it takes just 8 minutes to travel 19 miles.

[@ipfreak]

actually chinese labor cost isn't that lower than their counterparts of america, as people imagined. true reason is that those chinese construction projects use a lot of high tech machinery, instead use a lot of manual laborers as old time. the new rule of constructions in china is that, if you can use machinery, you should not use human labors. besides high level of standardization of viaduct design and building up, also girders and machinery, and laying tracks. those procedures are highly automated and mechanized. for a team of 22 members, each team can install 3 girders a day once viaducts are completed. also using viaducts also save operational cost since trains don't have to go up and down that much. safety is another reason. high speed trains running on viaducts are much more safer than running on the ground since there are significantly less possibilities that any animals and humans would get crossover the rails. not every viaduct has latter to climb up to the top.

[@MichaelZhuang]

Other than that, China also uses scale and standardization to its advantage.

[@stvdmc2011]

you should see the video about Chins high speed rail construction vs US (California). it take us 120 days to build one span of viaduct. So far we spend billions and don't have a mile of track yet.

Traveling by high speed train is cheaper and safer than traveling by plane. Missing a plane wastes time (waiting to fly on the next flight). The plane crashes is sure 99.99%. dead.

[@yukie_tn]

First time I took the high speed train (not maglav) was 2012 or 2013 when I was there for a business trip. I remember it was still something fairly new and the cars were mostly empty. And then as I took them again throughout the years, it has definitely grown in popularity and become the preferred method of transportation. The Maglav is still not widely used, while it is faster, you have to carry your suitcase up a couple of levels to reach the Maglav, while the connecting #2 subway is right across the platform. Plus with the higher cost of taking the Maglav, I'd just call a taxi for the whole trip to the airport.

The information in your video is wrong. When the journey exceeds a thousand kilometers, the high-speed rail is more expensive than the plane ticket.

[@JoeyCentral]

This inspired me to go to China to study their train system. MY hopes is that they will allow me access to their blueprints so that I can use it to help build my home country's railroad system up to track.

I took trains to travel in 2017. I loved it because you can still use the ticket to change to a later one if you are late for the train within certain amount of time, you can return the ticket, you can change for an earlier train if you arrive early

[@lschua5571]

Last time when I just on bullet train, not yet seated, train already start departure. Same situation cannot apply to plane for safety reasons

[@jeffreysoo8779]

Took the Chinese bullet train and it went up to over 300km just within few minutes. It was super fast, quiet and didn't vibrate much. Tried the Amtrak train in the USA... I say no word... you judge for yourself... 😊

[@winterlove4750]

My favourite transportation type is railway system. Trains are safest way to travel somewhere. Accident rate is very low compared to other transportation systems. Moreover, it is cheap comfortable and fast. In an accident you will sink at sea with ships. Or you will crash down at 30,000 feet with airplanes. But trains do not have such a risk. There is only risk of derailment. But derailing has been overcome with very few losses. So I love trains. And no, I never traveled with bullet trains.

[@dcgamingandmore1643]

me too

[@el4479]

As a Chinese, I usually prefer plane by high speed train when travel. Here’s my reason. 1. If you book ticket more than a week earlier, take a plane will be cheaper. 2. There are also ID card check, security check and ticket check when take a train. The train station is also very huge. It doesn’t save much time and effort by taking a train. 3. The newly built high speed train stations are also far away from the downtown. But the airports offer lots of direct bus service, which make it even more convenient to go to the airport. 4. Planes offer luggage carrying service. If you have big luggage, the plane is the only choice. 5. If you fly in the morning in good weather, the planes seldom delay. When the traveling distance is over about 800km, the over all time spent by plane is usually less than train.

Also in Japan, we have decent high speed trains, but it often costs more than low cost airlines so it won't be reasonable choice not like in China. Ticket of high speed train from Tokyo to Osaka costs around 120 USD for one way.

[@WINDYCHUNG]

yes, the transportation is very expensive in Japan, bus, metro and train. But Japan is developed country associated with high price. So I think for China, it is the best time to build everything before workers' salary becomes high.

I live in China and I confirm that taking bullet train is a lot better than taking a plane. Very fast, comfortable and most trains take you to downtown city. So, at the end, you will only find yourself paying for the train ticket and a little taxi fare if necessary.

[@morninghope1]

That's pretty great. I imagine having high speed rail in US from Boston to Tampa. I would use it even if it's comparable to flight and not even considering 1/2 to 1/3 the price mentioned here. From DC to Tampa is about 900 miles. At 150mph would get there in 6 hours. Half a day worth and I can just sit there and be productive and not have to deal with uncomfortable feeling of take-off and landing and security etc. At 200mph it would be 4.5 hours. It would be transformative. But it's going to cost three times the amount to build as China and probably 3 times to built as well. It's also more environmentally cleaner option. Too bad.

As a fan of train and a Chinese who often take the bullet train,I think what truly made Chinese HST better than other countries HST are the quality of the rail design in long-standing and advanced tech,it makes Chinese HST have the fastest average speed.(From Beijing to Shanghai average around 293km/h) but not all of the HST in China are good,when u get a train in China, u will notice the do not have train journey culture in here(food on train are not good,seats are tight like plane),it due to most of the people think HST is just a faster version of normal train,saving the time is the most important thing,others doesn’t matter.

Not just airplanes. China's high-speed rail has replaced many long-distance buses. The ticket price is almost the same, but the bus takes 3+ hours and the high-speed rail only takes 20 minutes.

As a Chinese student, I would like to say that there are ordinary and high-speed railways in China. Both are relatively common modes of transportation. High-speed railways are about twice as expensive as ordinary ones. Before watching this video, I didn't even know that there were no convenient high-speed trains in other countries.
