Who’s to say there wouldn’t be more flights per day if the airlines didn’t need to compete with 33 bullet trains per day?

If those 33 trains were operating full you'd need more than 100 flights to replace them.

It sounds like a flight is 3-6x worse than the bullet trains in terms of energy/passenger/mile, with no ability to go zero emissions. (Trains vary)
