China has the largest network of high-speed trains in the<br />world. It stretches a whopping 15,500 miles all over the<br />country. But while that all sounds impressive, I can't help<br />but wonder why they'd spend a fortune on building such a<br />vast bullet train network when airplanes exist?<br /><br />First, most central train stations are downtown, so you<br />can easily reach them by subway. You don't need to go<br />through extensive pre-boarding security. And even if<br />there are some delays, they don't happen too often and<br />are much shorter than those at airports. Also, with their<br />wider seats, more legroom, and freedom to move around,<br />modern bullet trains offer their passengers more comfort.<br />That's only the beginning of the list of reasons why<br />high-speed trains rock.
