Literally just saw a post on Reddit comparing what Chinese subways look like compared to America. And of course the one for America was a flooding incident. Guess we should ignore when China flooded their subway and a bunch of ppl were trapped with some of them actually drowning.

I've been on the Bullet Train in Japan many times. The toughest part is choosing which Bento box to buy at the station.

Using high-speed rail during a holiday is indeed very challenging, but I've never experienced a shaking train or smoking on the train. Nevertheless, when I arrived back to China from a holiday in Japan, the difference in public behaviour on transport was extraordinary.

Living in Korea atm, my jaw dropped in disbelief. I'm so thankful Korean people in general are very quiet on the train, in fact people glare at you if you talk loudly, sometimes if you talk at all on the phone.

I visited Japan for the first time a few years ago. I remember how surreal it was travelling at 320 km/h and my glass of water didn't even ripple. Absolutely amazing.

As a Kenyan the cigarette smoke in public transport is so true, one time I was traveling by public transport to Mombasa and two Chinese guy lit up a Cig and started smoking 🚬 😂 they thought it was China, the driver immediately told them to throw it away or board another bus 😂

I once flew commercial and had a woman put her bare feet between the seats, right next to my head. The stench was so bad I asked her to remove them. She verbally assaulted me and refused. Flight attendants had to resolve the issue. Common courtesy and respect for others is long gone now. We live in an age of me first. My needs and wants before all else.
I wish everyone would just stop for a moment and think about others. We are not special.

I went to China last November and travelled from Xiamen to Joujiang to Wuhan, then to Zhangjiaje and Shenzhen. I had travelled a total of more than 2000 kilometers, and 5 train rides through two type of high speed trains. One has an average speed of 300K/hour and the second one, 250K/hour. The experience was very pleasant and smooth. No shaking. Just telling my own experience. The departure and arrival times are always on the seconds.

When the people lack civility, it makes it worse when in an uncomfortable situation.

I frequently use the Japanese Shinkansen system (I'll be using it today, as a matter of fact), and I love it. No security check points, easy to buy tickets, the trains are spotless, smooth, and quiet. And while the trains and stations are often busy, it's never to the point that it causes stress. Japanese don't talk on the phone when using a train, they don't talk or laugh loudly, they would never put their feet on the seat in front of them, that would be sub-human. And in all the years the Shinkansen has been running (60 years), there has never been a collision or accident, the only serious incident being a few years ago when a lunatic set himself on fire on one of the trains.

[jwilliam]

Japanese Shinkansen have not had a single fatality nationwide in more than 60 years. They are *the* standard against which ALL other rail systems on this planet are judged.

We travelled from Beijing to Hangzhou 3 weeks ago. The ride was very smooth, the train was clean, pleasant, on time. Toilets were reasonably clean and the stations are immaculate. Security checks prior to boarding are similar to airport security checks in the U.K. and ensure you have no dangerous weapons etc. Non-Chinese need to produce their passports. I found the merchandising on the train a bit strange; the staff come round selling things such as an album of historic bank notes. No pressure to buy. The foot rest only comes down in one position. The no smoking rule is adhered to, and a warning message tells you that, if you infringe the rules, you may not be able to buy tickets in future. Altogether a pleasant experience.

Wow
The dystopian, "Thank you for your cooperation, " after threatening to lower your social credit score is terrifying

That shaking on the train reminds of a report I saw on an incident that happened in Germany back in 1998.
Passengers were experiencing such shaking right before a wheel broke and derailed the train.
The ICE "Wihelm Conrad Röntgen" crashed into a bridge and 101 people were killed.
Today still the most fatal accident with a high speed train in the world.

[j.p.vanbolhuis]

That dancing bottle is actually scary.

It means that the rail/wheels are so bad that the train is dancing....

A wheel breaking down in Germany caused a high speed train there to bring down an overpass on the train when it derailed.

In 2016 Singapore has send back 26 train back to China due to poor quality of train structure and material use.

I was recently in Japan. Public transportation is awesome and runs like clockwork. Always on time, and no crackhead drama like the Greyhound.

It’s remarkable that Japan’s high speed rail (Shinkansen) hasn’t suffered a single death since its inception in 1964.

6:22 Bless her heart for trying to deal with this childish man.

[creamyway]

I've been on these trains so many times, it's really not like that. The drink doesn't fall, the people don't jump, and everything is calm
