In China launched the fastest train in the world

In China, the fastest train for passenger transportation began its work. It will run between two cities: Zhengzhou and Xuzhou.

Already this Monday, the super-speed train went on the first flight from Xi'an station in Shaanxi province. Passengers heard from a train attendant that in 5,000 years of China’s existence, a high-speed train connects Zhengzhou and Xuzhou for the first time. The train reaches a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, so the journey time was reduced from 2.5 hours to 80 minutes.

Today, the length of high-speed highways in China is more than 20 thousand kilometers. The government plans to increase the length to 30 thousand kilometers by 2020, and by 2025 to 38 thousand kilometers.
