Bullet trains
Bullet trains are a technology that was invented in Japan during the 60s, and is a very viable solution to being more energy and time efficient.
A few facts about bullet trains:
-Facilitates cross-city economic integration and promotes the growth of smaller cities by connecting them with larger cities
-Reduces smog
-High speed trains could reverse the current tendency for cities to sprawl as wide as they can, with lots of new growth on the fringes and a neglected city center. A high speed rail network could revitalize America’s ‘Main Streets’.
-Less traffic
-Much safer than driving
-Run on electricity
