The TÅkaidÅ Shinkansen is the world's busiest high-speed rail line. Carrying 151 million passengers a year (March, 2008),[1] it has transported more passengers (over 6 billion)[2] than any other high speed line in the world.[3]Between Tokyo and Osaka, the two largest metropolises in Japan, ten trains per hour with 16 cars each (1300 seats capacity) run in each direction with minimum 3 minutes frequency. en.wikipedia.org The head of a major Japanese railway company has suggested Japan's Shinkansen bullet train technology for a US high-speed railway project. In a speech he delivered in Washington on Monday, Chairman Yoshiyuki Kasai of the Central Japan Railway said that the latest N-700 models would link Washington and New York in 70 minutes, instead of current 3 hours. He also said that bullet trains have not caused one fatal accident since their launch in 1964, and that the Shinkansen system is more energy-saving than other high-speed railway technologies. Speaking to reporters, Kasai unveiled a plan to conduct a test to run the N-700 model at a maximum speed of 330 kilometers per hour for the first time, in November. France's TGV trains currently run at up to 320 kilometers per hour. Earlier on the day, Kasai met with US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to promote the technology for its economic benefits.
