      The shinkansen is expensive, I vastly prefered China and even Koreas HSR. Public transit isnt supposed to make a profit.

        @[email protected] didn’t mention price, they only mentioned long distance speed and convenience. Shinkansen is king at long distance convenience and second at long distance speed. It’s the most comfortable and easy way to go a long way.

          That is true for convenince, especially given the chinese require security screening.

          The chinese HSR might win in comfort though, they have dining cars. Then again the shinkansen often have heated toilet seats and/or bidets. The toilet situation in China is… not great.
