Cost of bullet trains is a concern for people in various ways. There were numerous opposition from the public, technical difficulties, and costs that were difficult to bear. They took a loan from the World Bank for $80 million which barely covered the expenses of development. Finally, the head of the project, Shinji SogÅ resigned due to extreme pressure from all sides. But the project eventually succeeded and built the world’s first bullet train.
The cost of production is a concern, but there can be no doubt that the cost is high in many ways. There cost of safety in building the fleets cannot be lowered, as inflation and cost of production keeps rising.
Because of the high cost of production, the cost of travel is also quite high. In some countries, the cost can be as high as $120 per ride. Although this can be a deterrent for some, many companies are willing to offset the cost of travel for their executives as they reduce their travel times significantly.
There are a lot of people who know that the bullet train may be the best option if they want to reach their destination on time. The price of riding a bullet train will differ depending on where you are going to ride it and where you will get off.
The longer the distance, the higher the price is going to be. In Japan, there is an option for you to ride the bullet train standing up which is going to be cheaper as compared to purchasing a seat. The total cost of the bullet train will be about $40 if you would opt to be seated while you are traveling to your destination.

Since Japan created its first bullet train in 1964, other bullet trains have been created and are in service around the world. California has a bullet train. Their prices are different from each other depending on the location, the length of the train trip and the time when it is taken. That is because inflation has increased the prices in some places.
In Japan, to go from Tokyo to Mishima, it costs two thousand two hundred and ten yen to get there and another two thousand one hundred ninety-five yen to get a seat on the bullet train. Otherwise, you have to stand. The total cost of the ticket would be about forty U.S. dollars including the cost of the seat.
