Bullet trains are generally trains that travel above 250kmph. These speeds are quite fast for trains, but for safety reasons, there will be various conditions under which they will travel at slower speeds. Currently only 16 nations have high speed trains. Nations such as Japan, Spain, France, and Germany have specialized tracks dedicated to high speed trains. These countries have tracks that are more than 1,000kms long.
