Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
China's incredible
high-speed rail system
Just in six years,
China has already built the world largest high speed train network. Over 10,000
kilometers dedicated lines connect most of the major cities in the eastern
regions. Most notably, it runs between its political capital, Beijing, and
business capital, Shanghai only in five hours.
Though they’ve
created massive financial debts and major corruption charges, over 220 million
passengers have used the train system. There was an accident that killed 40
passengers once but it didn’t seem to worry the increasing demand. Some
airliners even had to cut their short routes because passengers chose
convenience and punctuality that trains offer.
And more to come
within the next few years to connect undeveloped western regions to the east.
Enjoy reading and
learning this fastest ever development of fast train network.
