For instance, from Tokyo to Osaka, a 2h22m-journey by Shinkansen, high-speed rail has an 85% market share whereas planes have 15%. From Tokyo to Hiroshima, a 3h44m-journey by Shinkansen, high-speed rail has a 67% market share whereas planes have 33%. The situation is the reverse ...
Seems unreal, but the Tokyo to Hiroshima travel time is less than 4 hours!2. Hikari trains come second, they boast the same operating speed as Nozomi, but make more stops along the way. They operate on Tokaido and Sanyo railway lines. 3. Mizuho trains are another limited-stops high-...

I wrote a Twitter thread about high-speed rail in the United States that I’d like to expand to a full post, because it illustrates a key network design principle. It comes from Metcalfe’s law: the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of nodes. The upshot ...
Buses are a less expensive alternative to the bullet train system in Japan, but they take more time. For example, the three-hour train ride from Tokyo to Osaka becomes a nine-hour bus ride. The price for that seat is around 7,000 JPY, but at some point, you need to think about how...

The history of Japan's high-speed rail system, also known as the Shinkansen or Japanese bullet train, can be traced back to the debut of the Tokaido Shinkansen in 1964. Originally designed to foster economic growth by connecting remote regions to Tokyo, the system has since evolved to connect...
