The True Cost Of Japan's Linear Bullet Train
01 Feb 2024 | Abstracted from Global Voices
"The magnetically levitated ('maglev') bullet train can reach speeds of 500 kilometers per hour and is scheduled to link Tokyo to Nagoya in 40 minutes by 2027 and to Osaka in just 67 minutes by 2045"...the Linear will, in fact, use anywhere from three to four times as much energy per person to power as the current Tokaido Shinkansen...'pro-Linear groups just emphasize how great the Linear is,' but tend to ignore its negative aspects."
