U mean to say that the video aired is false news. Except for affluent people, bullet train will be useless for aam aadmi. Every 2 months I travel to Kerala by trivendrum supetfast express. Rickety old coaches are used no mobile charging points work. Lousy food. 100’s of unauthorised vendor. Train travel is not a pleasure anymore.
Why Modi need a bullet train? R he will be a permanent PM of India and he want to visit the terminal daily for lunch and dinner? People r dying for want of lively materials but Modi want a bullet train. Why BJP is not fighting got presents agricultural ist in Gujarat? Because they want Modi’s dream to be fullfilled. But in Kannur Kerala they even don’t require a by pass road. It is showing a partician manner of BJP govt. For vote bank in the ensuing elections.

The Operating Ratio of Indian Railways, although it is making insufficient provision for depreciation, is already 117. It has borrowed a lot of money from LIC, which will be difficult to service. The breakeven price of a Bombay – Ahmedabad bullet train will likely be above the cost of an airline ticket. Passenger trains running on this route have unused capacity. More than the technology, IR, which has been fortunate to have had two chartered accountants as ministers, should be placing the financials of this dream project through an MRI.
