Står du hver dag og er irriteret over, at DSB ikke lige kommer eller kører til tiden, og derudover synes, at 42 minutter fra Køge til København er alt for længe.... Så kig på, hvad de kan i lande, som ikke engang er i nærheden af det skattetryk vi har her i Danmark.... Men jeg er i tvivl om du tør se på det, og skulle stå i den situation hvor du skal erkende verden ikke ser ud som den er blevet malet for dig ❤️🙏
🇨🇳 China's high-speed rail network (the first high-speed rail line in China is only 118 km long in 2008)
● In 2008 China opened its first high-speed rail from Beijing to Tianjin with a total length of 118 km.
● And now in 2023 China's total length of high-speed rail network is 42,000 km as of December 2022.
FYI: 🇯🇵 Japan's total length of high-speed rail: 2,830 km in 2023
China's high-speed rail network is longer than all high-speed rail network in the rest of the world combined. And we can also learn that an achievement will take time, not done overnight.
And in Southeast Asia (SEA), 🇮🇩 Indonesia has been operating its first high-speed rail from Jakarta to Bandung with a total length of 142.8 km with a maximum speed of 350 km/h. But who knows in the next 15 years Indonesia could have more than 10,000 km long of high-speed rail network.
And even now Indonesia is doing study on Bandung-Surabaya high-speed rail network extension with a total length of more than 700 km.
