[beijingwalker]

160KM/Per hour , Guangzhou subway more than doubled conventional subway speed

160KM/Per hour

At present, the domestic cities with a subway speed of 160KM/hour include Guangzhou Metro Line 18 and Line 22, Beijing Daxing Airport Line, Chengdu Line 18, etc., which can reach the world’s fastest subway speed of 160KM/hour.

Subway trains just run in a city and have to make stops frequently, they don't really need to run this fast, they have to decelerate before fully accelerated.

Like I said before, I went to both cities several years ago and Guangzhou is living in 2050. Super futuristic and clean with nice open spaces. Hong Kong is decaying and looked like a third world shithole, like a Chinese New York City, just filthy, crowded and rotting.

Suitable for routes with few stops to the suburbs.

I know Guangzhou is amazing, love the historic old city there.
Hong Kong is amazing in its own place.
NYC is just trash.

I never liked HK either. It is overcrowded, dirty and overrated. But to each their own. It has it's interesting and fun side. NYC does as well. Except in addition to being a very dirty and chaotic city, NYC is actually a very dangerous city, unlike HK or Guangzhou. You can easily lose your life if you have one incident of bad luck.

HK followed the extreme laise faire model which even the west or Uk did not follow. THere was no minimum wage for decades. British who had all these for their own countrymen did not think a chinamen deserves any such protection and must work brutally for pennies.

Result is the HK govt runs surpluses, its metro is profitable - both rarities in world. But its people live in tiniest living spaces which even indians will refuse to live.

That reminds me just watched a video from Louis Rossmann about a guy just randomly breaking windows of cars in the street.

From what I have read half the city lives in public housing which was built in the colonial era, and the rest are either wealthy enough to live private or live in coffin homes and subdivided flats. Mainly found in the old industrial districts of Kowloon.

Yeah, there are enough insane people in Manhattan. But just go to some of the outer boroughs like the Bronx and Queens, the projects there put any Commie block in the former USSR to shame and they are 100x more dangerous. Outright war zones.

I think high speed metro is part of China's plan for Mega cities.
