BULLET TRAINS

High speed trains that even connects isolated places like islands. It has a minimum speed of 200 km/h to 250 km/h. They work by the help of electromagnets. It is based on the magnetic levitation. Electromagnets levitate the train from the tracks so that the friction is reduced. High speed, high standards of safety and comfort are some of the advantages of these high speed trains.

China ranks first in the bullet train service covering 22,000 kilometer and it is going to expand its service which is under construction. 450 km/h is the maximum attained speed of bullet trains around the world according to the present records. Japan was the first country to start these high speed train services.Netherlands is expected to start the highest speed trains soon.

But these high speed trains are not viable due to the expense for traveling as well as construction. It has not reached the public sector yet. It has become a part of luxury of elite group. Moreover, in most of the countries in which these bullet trains has implemented, it is not sure whether the gain from it has outweighed certain problems like pollution and expenses caused by that. But this can conserve our non renewable resources such as fuels to a greater extend. These bullet trains can thus also help in bringing a drastic decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide being produced and evolved to atmosphere.
