A bullet train can reach speeds of up to 320 km/h (200 mph).
This impressive speed has evolved significantly since the introduction of the Shinkansen, Japan's pioneering bullet train, over half a century ago. Initially, these trains operated at a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). Through continuous advancements in Japanese technology, the maximum speed has increased to its current standard. This allows the Shinkansen to transport approximately one million passengers daily. The consistent improvements demonstrate a commitment to speed, efficiency, and passenger satisfaction.
