The bullet train in China (Technology)


Two years ago, China began a train from Beijing and Tianjin. Beijing and Tianjin are two big cities of China, so there are important for China economic. The speed of the train is maximum 350 kilometers per hour. There use only half a hour to finish a round. Now, There are 50,000 passergers travel by using the bullet train from Beijing to Tianjin. So, this train is very important to the passengers that travel every day. There is a part of their life. The price is 2,500 yuan a month. I think is too expensive for the worker who always use this train. However, the Chinese government spent a lot of money to build and It doesn't make any profit to the government. It was 700 million yuan[$103 million]. To sum up, the train has brought a great deal of convenience to passengers.

In Thailand, we have the BTS train. Bangkok people usually use it when they travel to the middle of the city. For me, I always use BTS when I want to go to siam center because it is convenience and faster that using a bus.
