lol, you can get a bullet train in Japan whenever to wherever and it'll be exactly on time.

No one else is remotely close to their network and won't be for a long time.

Eh, China's route is around 15 times more expansive and longer, similar punctuality, and way cheaper ticket per km, about 10-15 times cheaper. The only thing annoying for China's HSR is security check on the terminals.

Complete copium to say wherever, whenever. It's a brilliant system, but it's not that good and it is expensive.
