    Hello from Tokyo, India! Japan has grown into the world's second largest economy by building the Shinkansen bullet train connecting the major cities of Tokyo and Osaka. High-speed rail is essential for an economic powerhouse! I am confident that India will eventually become an economic superpower surpassing Japan and China. I believe that the Shinkansen can greatly help it. It is sad that some Chinese and Indonesians are making fun of the Indian bullet train, assuming that the project has failed because of the delayed opening. However, the Indonesian high-speed railroad is only 100 kilometers long, and extending the railroad is difficult for the time being, and has been removed from the national project. (From Wikipedia) In contrast, the Indian bullet train is 500 kilometers long and will be extended in the future. Let's make this project a success in India and Japan!🇯🇵❤️🇮🇳 Google Translate was used.
  • Mumbai to Ahmedabad will make much more sense when extended to Delhi. A bullet train taking less than 6 hrs between Delhi and Mumbai will be a game changer.

    i literally dont understand how you dont have a million subs,the quality of your videos are outstanding .As a student who is fascinated with speed, trains and this country, your videos are very useful for me

    People who are comparing Indian Bullet train project with Indonesia... Must Understand... In Indonesia Chinese workers and Chinese machines are doing the majority of work with Indonesian workers. *But in India L and T(an Indian company) is doing the construction.* *Electrical overhead Wiring will also be done L and T* Machines are also built and operated by Indian engineers. Only Chief engineer comes once a while from Japan to see progress and modifications. *So technically India is learning how to make bullet train project* *Just like we learned how to make world class Metro infrastructure* And also JAPAN'S bullet trains are safest and best in the world. "So asking for help again n again in future from Japan is not what India is thinking." That's why it is taking time. Additional info -- Indonesia's route length is 142 km with 4 stations. *India's route length is 508 km (476 km is elevated on pillars, including 21 km undersea tunnel) with 12 stations.* **Edit- Undersea tunnel will be made by AFCONS which is also an Indian Company. So it will take time. *Source-Wikipedia.

    Track making process speed:🗿🗿 Land acquisition process:🤓🤡🤡🤡🤓🤓🤡🤡
  • I can't wait for this corridor to open. Hopefully, this will give way to multiple other corridors around the country. Can't wait to eventually get on a train from Chennai to Bangalore just for an hour and a half or so! Keep up the great work Mayank! Integration with multimodal hubs and competitive ticket prices will be key to ensuring their success. We should revolutionise our transport to a fast and green network soon!

    Surat already developing Metro connectivity to its Bullet Train Station, and also the Bullet train station is building near existing BRTS route and Outer Ring Road. Thats why Our Surat is Called Best Smart City in India.
  • @padhlebhai13
    I am from Surat and this train is much needed for my father..He is a diamond trader and this train will help him to reach Mumbai ASAP❤
  • @yashgadiya9407
    I have seen so many videos on bullet train till date but this one is on next level…the quality is impeccable…loved the video ❤
  • @briju0953
    I hope from Mumbai it will be connected to Vizag and Bangaluru through different routes. Connecting Ahmd with Delhi and then to Kolkata is a priority one.

    This is a wonderful documentary touching on capital growth and better connectivity.

    Many people are debating routes, its very easy to answer that question, we need to find out how many people travel by flight and AC 2 tier between any 2 large cities, rank them in descending order then select. Idea is to switch AC train and flight passengers to bullet train. Also average flight time is usually around 2 to 3 hours + atleast 2 hours for taxi takeoff landing security gate waiting etc. so flight time about 5 to 6 hours, so if average bullet train is 250 kmph then 6 hours by bullet means 250x6 = 1500 kms this is the max distance to be served on high priority as for much longer distances than this flights would make much more sense. So in my opinion routes could be 1. Delhi Mumbai 2. Delhi - Kolkata 3. Bangalore Chennai Start with these then once teh technology is well established and average speed can be raised above 300 kmph then south and north and east and west can be connected like blore - delhi , kol - mum etc.

    Bhai maza aa jata ga tumhari videos dekhne main. The pacing is just so fast, keeps me on my toes. And literally everything is so precise with no bloat. On the bullet trains- I hope land acquisition ka rasta nikale govt because if we keep going at the pace we're going- it will never get done. People should be allowed to board these trains for cheaper than it's actual price when they are just being opened, to encourage participation. Love your videos bro, keep growing ❤
  • @abhishekonine
    Love the in depth research bro. You’ve gone above and beyond 🙌🏽
  • I really like your videos. You take a lot of time planning, scripting and designing them. Each video is more interesting and better. Hats off to your dedication.
  • @ojayadev
    According to me, the future growth of India will be heavily dependent on HSR network. Hope India taps into this and expands it to other areas aswell.
  • @Doctor.eagle007
    Its essential becz we are hosting olympic in 2036 i guess in Ahmedabad. So thus is imp and important for technology to boost in other projects. Just like dmrc took stand
  • @nilaypatel1971
    Fun Fact:- 2nd Face, Ahmedabad to Delhi Map is 95% Examined,,, & Govt is Planning for 3rd Face Delhi to Lacknow,,, Then Might Be 4th Face Mumbai to Banglore
