You know what? I already said cars are my favorite but the rapid train “Shinkansen” is pretty cool too. The ride is fast but so smooth. It’s more like a plane experience on tracks.

Bullet trains are really fast so they get you to where you want to go quickly but I can’t imagine traveling in them for short distances.
You’re right. It’s a waste to just get in then out. Lol
I suppose for a country it would have benefits like increased economic activity between cities or reduced dependence on foreign oil as many passengers could take it instead of driving their own vehicles 🚗 or taking gas guzzler planes ✈️.
You have some good points there.
With all this commenting I’m realizing I haven’t really said what my preferred means of transport is.
Haha!! So what’s your favorite? A brave board?
🤔 To be honest I’d have to say that even though I take the train 🚊 a lot. With this next wave of COVID I would want to take precautionary measures to reduce my exposure to crowds of passengers. So that excludes buses as well. Unless I’m going to choose to travel outside of the rush hour.
So I’m going to opt for a car🚙 as this reduces my risk of exposure to the virus. My exposure would potentially affect my family, my coworkers, my students and their families so I have to be careful not only for me but my community.
Changing your mind huh?
Haha! Variety is the spice of life.
So they say...Nothing wrong with a change of mind.
Right?! Lol
You know I always thought if something like this even existed. I have seen it in one too many movies.
Another thing I am pondering is how it goes super fast and the inside still stays firm, or does it?
Yes, it’s an official mode of transport here. Great for traveling from prefecture to prefecture. You know, it always puzzles me. It does stay firm. When in it, you don't "feel the speed". It’s so smooth.
I sometimes go Shinkansen-watching with my kids. We wait for it, it appears and then in a flash, disappears.
Ah men, that sounds so good. You should do a video of it sometime. I'd love to see ups fast it moves first hand.
😃I might be able to find or take a video but it’s quite similar to the GIF.
Ah it is, dang it.
I was thinking it would be a lot more different.
Still go ahead and shoot it. 😁
Shoot it? Oops! I misunderstood. Lol
Trying to get the video up in the comment box via dappler but to no avail.
Ah crap. That hurts.
How do I see it then?🙁
