Bullet trains prove big holiday hit
By Wang Ying (China Daily)
Updated: 2007-05-08 10:30 Bullet trains that can travel at up to 200 kilometers per hour provide a new and popular travel alternative during the May Day holiday. Chinadaily.com.cn recently conducted a survey and found that about half of the respondents said they would like to try the trains during the week-long holiday. More than 2,100 people responded to the website's question of "Will you try these bullet trains during the golden week in May?" About 45 percent said "yes", 37 percent "no", and the rest had "no comment". "I will try it," said a netizen named Dongting. "It is not as expensive as an air ticket, and cuts journey time." However, Sissi felt ticket prices for the trains were a bit steep and that might could deter travelers. "I shall try it one day, but not during the Golden Week. I always want to try something new, if I can afford it." Meanwhile Nile advised people "not to spend money on transport that has experienced delays, making actual travel time longer".
