The existence of high-speed rail has advantages and disadvantages, so what is the significance of the existence of high-speed rail?

First of all, high-speed rail is only available in recent years, just like the high price of new things, things are scarce, and the high fare is understandable to me!

Secondly, the high-speed rail accounts for too little of the total railway mileage in China. If the fare is too low, you can think about who will take the ordinary train to squeeze the train in front of the huge advantage of the train. Is fare pricing relatively reasonable? It should be different from ordinary express passenger trains and absolutely competitive with civil aviation!

Finally, I personally feel that the high-speed rail is a project that benefits the country and the people, so there is no cost and profit in benefiting the people. Like the subway, no one expects to make a profit. You may not understand that even ordinary trains have never made a profit from passenger transportation for so many years, but freight transportation is profitable, that is, the money earned from freight transportation every year should only be used to subsidize passenger transportation. So high-speed rail is not built to make money. In addition, is the investment in high-speed rail extremely costly? The country is paying the bill! Just use taxpayers' money to serve taxpayers! From the national point of view, the strategic significance of high-speed rail is self-evident, and from the perspective of people's travel, it is absolutely beneficial to the people! Now it seems that the ticket price is too high to sit on. I believe this is only temporary. Whether it is the medium-and long-term planning of high-speed rail or the recent Twelfth Five-Year Plan, we can see that our income will increase substantially before you can accept this price. I believe it will come true soon!
