Pakistan can't afford to have bullet trains: Railway minister

.
Any one plze tell me why bullet train so expensive thanks.
Bullet train is simply high speed railway, its more costly for country like Pakistan, which propably have to build whole new railway system from scratch. Its not that expensive in the end, but if your country is going throug financial hardship, then it might not be the first thing to develop

HSR here in Finland operatess ~220kmh speeds and in Japan it was 320-270kmh max.

let him write 1000000000000000 times and i will support him 1000000000000000 times coz he speaks truth if you can't bear that's your problem. learn to fight for Pakistan not for Corruption

Increasing parliamentarians salaries where easy to justify building Pakistan future is not coz unbelievably :disagree:

took me a few time to read it before i was able to figure out what you meant...all I have to say to that is....there are 34 parliamentarians who are getting salaries while refusing to accept that same parliament as legitimate and refusing to go there and one of those is the sole soul of honesty, integrity and seeker of justice....The one who was able to buy 230 Canal of land in Islo Suburabs for mere 3 karors of money given to him as a Gift from his wife.

“When we asked the Chinese about it, they laughed at us. We should consider the 160kmph train under CPEC as a bullet train. We can’t afford an actual bullet train, there’s no market for it,” the railway minister said.

Well that was rude, I am sure Chinese could have cleared doubts of Pakistani delegation more diplomatically.
This is copy-paste from Time of India. What do you think?

A possibly affordable option for a 160 kph train Pakistan should consider is the Siemens ES-64 or Eurosprinter
If Pakistan procures a decent number of train sets it can have modern train services (operting in eastern europe and America; America doesn't give prioirty to its passenger rail service like Western europe and Japan do)

They can go for a Cheaper Version that operates at the lower speed of basically 100 mph (160 kph) and save money; or buy alot of retiring rail stock from operators of these trains in europe and fix them up (full overhaul)

It is because ganja league is only thinking about massive corruption & about themselves, nothing else.

The irony is, Pakistan in its present condition cannot even afford to have Railways.

We can afford Railways and the trains are chugging everyday...

Pakistan Ordered 55 Locomotives From US
Pakistan received 70 Locomotives from China
Pakistan is now looking for JV in Locomotive manufacturing in Pakistan
Pakistan is Upgrading all major Station in the country
Pakistan is also Upgrading Railway tracks and planned for new tracks

So if you don't know nothing it's better to keep your mouth shut

Simple question. Is your railway's net income in loss or profit ?

The Indian person mentions that the news article Dawn mentioned this. However, what he fails to take into account is that Dawn is a American/Indian mouth piece attacking all good things about Pakistan. At the moment a case of treason is placed on them...and the Pakistan Army will take them into account of their crimes. This news is false Brother..I know how Chinese people act in business and politics.
