Thats like 700km so in a proper high speed train it would be 3h or less from station to station. Thats probably faster than flying if you include all the boarding and travel to the airport.
I could walk from Germany to France in about 30 mins.
I meant Toronto to NYC is 700km
Germany and France share a border so yeah its 0 seconds if you are standing on the border and for one of the longest distances from Berlin to Strasbourg for example its 6h by train.
That doesn't happen anywhere. Thanks to all stops and what not a german high speed train goes like 100kmh in averge... checkout cologne- berlin
Tokyo > Kyoto is like 475km and takes 2h so its just a matter of will and investment. It even runs every 30 minutes during the day.
Every 30 minutes? Nope. More like every 6 minutes.
Hehe 4sure, everyone knows the german train system is crap. A sad decline
