The question is will people in India use that train considering huge money involved and thus rise in train fare.I would say we need to hit the 250 kmph mark, and htat would be a necessity, but going upto 350 kmph would probably be a salamander measuring contest.
However the cost of train fare was same in both countries for normal superexpress trains. So this cost of living argument doesnt make sense.i think its not reasonble to compare air fare in india vs HST fare in china. different country has different living cost. its like compare US air fare vs india air fare.
HST is good for high population desity area. also with price of oil raising, its time to upgrade the railway.
I think so, although a market survey has to be done to come to a more reliable conclusion. The reason I think it is feasible is that people often shell out a lot of money travelling by means other than railways and do pay a lot of money. Also, not all trains will have to be HSR. Those that are not can continue with the current or reasonably increased fares.The question is will people in India use that train considering huge money involved and thus rise in train fare.
Do you know that air fare in India is among the cheapest in the World ? So i doubt anybody would pay 30% extra money only to travel on HSR train.I think so, although a market survey has to be done to come to a more reliable conclusion.

^^^ And who will pay for the loss incurred in running High speed railway.
Why do you think there will be loss ?? Railway minister says we don't have tracks to increase the number of trains than simply increase the speed of trains or build new tracks for these old fat ass trains and you know, I don't think building new tracks for old trains would be great idea.And would you please put those fares of chinese trains and air india you're talking about, I mean the comparison.However the cost of train fare was same in both countries for normal superexpress trains.

And so we have AI crisis ringing our doorbells......Do you know that air fare in India is among the cheapest in the World ? So i doubt anybody would pay 30% extra money only to travel on HSR train.
Exactly . The reason of loss is incredibly cheap air fare. Need to increase fare by Rs 1000.And so we have AI crisis ringing our doorbells......
distance : 1300 kmWhy do you think there will be loss ??

Speed is essential and I'm sure chinese and indian railways have a lot of differences including fares.
What cost of coal is increasing at a very high rate ?Air Fare will go up as oil prices rise, HSR doesn't have the same problem.
Not just coal, HSR can be powered by Nuclear, Hydro, Wind...We can reduce dependance on oilWhat cost of coal is increasing at a very high rate ?
That is true. But it is expensive . And i don't think people of India can afford a expensive train ticket.Not just coal, HSR can be powered by Nuclear, Hydro, Wind...We can reduce dependance on oil
Well, how healthy are our airlines? Air fares are cheap, because, many routes are subsidised. Why not base our judgments on actual operating costs and compare HSR and air-travel?Do you know that air fare in India is among the cheapest in the World ? So i doubt anybody would pay 30% extra money only to travel on HSR train.
