Bullet Train Facts 🚅

The Japanese Bullet Train (aka the "Shinkansen") has had a significant beneficial effect on Japan's business, economy, society, environment and culture in ways beyond mere construction and operation contributions. The results in time savings alone from switching from a conventional to a high-speed network have been estimated at 400 million hours, and the system has an economic impact of ¥500 billion per year. Now 500 billion is a large number so, to put that figure into some context: it is a f**ktonne.
