Can Modi Build India's Bullet Train? - Forbes

[C130]

I'm confident the answer is a resounding affirmative. India has the brains and the money to achieve anything, only leadership was lacking before. With Modi-ji in power, India will quickly move ahead in all areas, including bullet trains.

Let’s call a spade a spade here, shall we? This crazy train is ridiculous. If India wants to modernize, it has to build 21st century infrastructure for the 20 million people that ride banana slugs on a daily basis.

lol that picture, haha. that's pretty efficient

This is Bangladesh.

Seats have three classes: Business, First and Second. Business class have leather recliner seats and come with their own entertainment system.

so it's not just contained to India?

I just like pictures with stuff being overloaded on a mode of transport

These are capable of carrying more than 1000 people at a time and at speeds up to 400km/hour.

Yes, Chinese are very efficient.

Let them run ordinary trains with efficiency then they can go for bullet train. There is only more hype and less reality in india. There is no need to compare with others, we need to set better standards within and reach them.

Let the govt build world class high ways without any corruption that itself will increase the economic activity ten fold.

All carriage classes and numbers are clearly displayed on integral electronic boards.

HSR is overrated.

Freight trains are king

 

[RisingShiningSuperpower]

All trains are equipped with earthquake and proximity warning systems. A dead-man-switch is built into the system and brings the train to halt if the driver is incapacitated.

Instead of going for bullet train, India should strengthen the aviation infrastructure. Indian aviation space has a huge potential to exploit. Also the existing railway infrastructure should be improved and the speeds of trains increased. The average speed of all long distance over night trains should be brought to minimum 100 kmph. The bullet trains should be thought after that.

These CRH350 EMUs are equipped with a new traction motor that greatly increased the efficiency over previous motors. With this new motor, these trains can comfortably cruise at up to 400km/hour.

 

[RisingShiningSuperpower]

China has proposed selling EMUs capable of 250km/hour to India, and Modi-ji has expressed interest in these:

 

[RisingShiningSuperpower]

China has two other models of EMUs which are suitable for India. Both can cruise at up to 250km/hour.

These are CRH380A EMUs, which are available if Modi-ji decides to have elevated bullet train corridors.

Of course, research is continuing on future EMU technologies. Below is the CIT500 next to the CRH380A. CIT500 is a technology demonstrator used to research various new construction and propulsion technologies that can be applied to future models.
