Re:Japan's Brand New Bullet Train Is Earthquake-Proof by kalleboo on Saturday August 01, 2020 @10:24PM (#24025813)
No, Japan is terrible for building bullet train infrastructure. It's so mountainous that building straight enough track requires lots of expensive tunnel drilling. The new maglev is something like 90% tunnels. The places in the US where there would be demand for a bullet train have much more straightforward geography.
