I'd see the same thing happened in Malaysia too. High passenger during launching and then only during festival time. For family vacation still cheaper to drive and more convenient since Malaysia is not big country can cover from North and South within a day.

QUOTE(30624770 @ Aug 21 2025, 12:01 PM) But it's a different story for China. I think there are some truth in the story of economic boom. Japan too as their economy took off in the 60s too when Shinkansen was built. People who work in cities live far away. Some even take 2 hour bullet train to work in Tokyo. Their HSR improved transportation efficiency, reduced travel times, and fostered economic integration between regions. The HSR network has also boosted tourism, facilitated trade, and spurred economic growth in various sectors. Of course the boom in China and Japan is more due to the mentality of the people there. The HSR facilitate the boom but it's not the main factor.   |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Aug 21 2025, 12:09 PM) You have to factor other cost like rental. Rentals could be expensive in Japan but not that expensive in Malaysia. Hence you could just move closer to your workplace instead of spending a fortune on transportations. Not talking about people living far in Malaysia. It is about not many will use it unlike in Japan. |
