Thank you. I finally got my wish. And that is to know the sensation of being aboard a high speed train. The realism was there. Now how much do I owe in fare?
and about tibet, some people have the fantasy of tibet that it was a prosperous and autonomous state before 1950. the truth hurts. before 1950, Tibet was merely a society based on feudalism and slavery, a few elite leaders owned Tibet. what the government have been doing in Tibet is to build infrastructures, improving the local economy and standard of living.
4 hours from Shanghai to Beijing including the time that stop at some mid stations. What does this mean? It means u can have breakfast at LA than have lunch at Chicago.
Of course I'm exaggerating, but the ideea is that the Chinese as a people, and in general Asians are very disciplined. Go to Japan. Japanese cities are cleaner than a Western hospital. Chinese, Korean and Japanese cities are very clean compared to Western cities.
KeillaSellay ....soviet china.... HAHA and totally right america is just dirty ewww omg i ve been to NYC its so damn dirty and people are just so rude. ewww omg i can't even stand those weird creeps in new york and americans act really funny they always think they re cool.
I have faith in the future of trains replacing regional jets. Trains are more environmentally friendly and tickets are less expensive. As well as the procedures of boarding are much more less strict and efficient. I think China is going to be sooner to implement it than the US where both are geographically large countries.
C Johnson I'm not so much concerned about the environmental issues (which are much overblown) but trains make far more sense for regional travel. Maglev trains could even compete with jets for longer trips, at 300 MPH it would take about as long for a Maglev to travel from New York to LA as it usually takes to fly.
C Johnson The current aim in Europe is to make trains more attractive than planes on any journey under 500km. Taking in consideration the location of train stations, the low safety risk trains provide, departure time being virtually the same as boarding time and the whole ride being by far more comfortable than an airplane ride (you can have a walk at any time, no chance of chop, etc...) and possibly more entertaining also (cellular lines coverage nearly everywhere, wifi being accessible on some trains, large windows offering the chance for everyone to see the scenery, not just to window side seats) it's not hard to understand why so many countries are rediscovering the charms of train travel in a modern and faster key. I believe that when technological evolution brings down the costs of building such lines, we'll ditch not only >500km air routes but also cross continental air routes and change them for a fast, comfy and by far more safer and environmentally friendly maglev ride in a vacuum tunnel underneath the ocean.
One note - beware underground taxi's at Longyang Rd. Station, they rip foreigners. They approach foreigners with luggage - don't let them take it. At destination (usually ones hotel) victim is hit with an outrageous fare! (Remember, the driver has your luggage 'hostage' in his trunk). Use regular taxi's, the ones w. roof beacon, driver cage, licence/ ID displayed and a fare meter. They're cheap. Cost of Maglev train - 50 yuan or 80 yuan round trip (good for 7 days).
JIM2oob Or, you can also transfer to the Metro Line 2. Usually, the official taxi have uniform decoration and very rarely the driver charge extra. However, for the private car, since the government forbade its commercial use, the private car transporting passengers is taking risk but they also charge more. Whatever, it is very convenient to find public transportation alone Longyang Road.
If Obama was half as smart and forward looking as he thinks he is that trillion dollars he blew on the failed stimulus would have gone to something like THIS. Done right it could have been as big a boon for our county as the Eisenhower Interstate System.
It wasn't a trillion but 700+ and second a third of that was tax cuts. And what Congress would allow something this forward thinking and modern to pass? Are you sure your American? You don't seem to understand the reality of your political system.
Would be a more interesting video had there been more attention on the outside scenery and not the climbing speedometer or other passenger filming the event.
Come on America! We can build a bigger and faster train than this! Ours will be powered by real tornadoes and will levitate 2x better than theirs! Ours can have firework launchers built in so when your riding at night we'll have a show! (sarcasm, but true)
[JR-MAGLEV] Japanese Magnetic Levitation Train : 581 km*h [TGV] France Regular Train : 574,5 km*h [TRANSRAPID] (this one in the video) German Magnetic Levitation Train : 550 km*h
No... Shanghai still the fastest in world.. because is in service ..those u listed out is just a testing train no passenger can sit it for travel, work etc..not in commercial used
Lol.. give an example: - world most advanced stealth fighter still American F-22..although russia T-50, china j-20 or j-31 may better than F-22 in someway ..but those stil under testing conditions not in service. U cant took those testing fighter fight. With. F-22. still Shanghai maglev still on hold fastest.. before those maglev in service
Completely agree. China is China, and as any country in the world it's far from perfect. But no matter what people think I also believe you have succeed to take a huge step from where china was 30 years ago or so. Things doesn't change over a night. Every country and politic agenda has bad sides. China is far from alone with that. What we can see however is that the lives of common people has improved dramatically during the years. Sure some side effects are to follow, that's completely natural
Okay... Yes Yes Yes. Chinese trains are fast as a bullet. They are glittery. Beautiful. Modern. Hygienic as a bloody military OR. But, I prefer the US trains. Yup. They are creepy fun. On a Chinese train you get from point A to point B in a sneeze. Instead on a US train, they are so slow that you can see how your clothes go out of style. On a US train, you can fall in love, have children and watch them grow up. On a US train you can read Tolstoy's "War and Peace" twice. On the US train you have time to learn another language. U see? US trains are exciting. They are Noisy. Stinky. Rusty. Smoky. Full of Graffiti. With vomits of all nationalities. From Mexican enchiladas to Japanese sushi. The US train is Thrilling like a horror movie. On the other hand, on a Chinese train, you get on, you sit down and Nnnnñit! You have already reached your destination. What kind of shit is that? Did you pay a ticket and for what? Where are the murders, the harassing cop, the swindlers, the drug addicts, the international spies, the sadists, the psychopaths, the sexually depraved, the Mormons, the exhibitionists, the Loco...? No. No. No. I rather to risk my life on a US train, but have something exciting to tell my grandchildren.
But no matter what people say, I believe China is walking towards a much more free state. And although I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, I don't believe we Europeans or US are as free as many would like to think. Well, this train is simply Amazing, build a rail to Scandinavia and I will come over for a cup of Pu er tea every weekend :)
Chinese should be proud that the the Transrapid train in Shanghai kept running for 10 years (launched in 2003) with just one minor fire accident. in Germany they had a major crash on test track in 2006 that killed 23 people.

As an American it hurts to see the US left in the dust. Where's America's mag-lev train? Wasted the money on wars and tax cuts for billionaires. Which has left the country broke and lost. The only people with the money or political muscle to push for such a system don't care because they have private jets to take them where they want to go. And the less people who travel the less human and economic space they have to share with others. Meanwhile China is making plenty of room...for Chinese!
go google kanji, before kanji were introduced to the Japanese from China Japan were a nation with no written languages. Part of the reason the Japanese love Romance of the three kingdom so much is because it actually recorded the existence of Queen Himiko, if it weren't for China, Japan had no way to proof that Himiko actually existed, because they didn't have any writing system at that time.
It has to go over 300 km/h at least half the time to be the world's fastest train. The TGV went 571 top speed, but most of the time it runs only a little faster than of half that. Shinkansen also has a top speed close to that, but most of the time runs much slower. This train needs to go 400 km/h at least some of the time to be considered faster than the TGV, ICE, and Shinkansen. Average speed is what counts. Top speed is not what these trains run at with their passengers.
well, thank you very much, but i feel i am a free man and i feel pretty comfortable(Chinese colleges suck though) in my country just like when i am here in US. The China controlled by nationalists( or pro americans,or kuomintang. now, they are known as the government of Taiwan) before 1949 was a dictatorship as well, the gap between different classes were even much more severe. Most importantly, people did not have the rights to criticize the kuomintang government.
I agree with you that we still do have a long distance to go to catch up with the rest of the world in terms of democracy, it is still a developing country which means a lot of things are far from perfect, including laws, human rights, equality, and so on( just like so many other countries before when they were still toddler). yet, we can see progress and effort in last 20 years chinese government have made. it is opening up its mind to accept different opinions, lets give it time
Please allow me to ask you a question, what would you do if one day some people come out with the sings saying" give the land back to Native Americans", or " give the new mexico back to mexican", or "free hawaii", and then you find out it is supported by KGB or Chinese agency to defile the image of USA, as an american, what would you do?(do get me wrong, this is just an example, i love US just as much as i love my country, it is one of the greatest countries throughout the history).
sorry, forgot about that " walking around with a saying "free Tibet" sign and see what happens". I mean, seriously? Actually, i cannot come up with a reason why any rational and patriotic Chinese citizens would ever want to do that. personally, i will never do that because I love my country, I want it to be unified, I am against those activities which are intended to undermine my country and the relationships among my fellow citizens.
Firstly, who were those people? ordinary people from tibet? I don't think so. secondly, who has been actively supporting those kind of protests or sabotage , if i may say, to make china looks bad in the world? a hint, it is central something agency, i could assure you that they were behind this. thirdly, why would any people like to see their country petitioned and weakened? at least normal and patriotic people would not want to see that happens to their own countries.
From the aspect of human rights, well, i don t quite get it when people talk about China's abuse of human rights, I mean, what is human rights specifically( I apologize for my ignorance)? as far as i am concerned, i have my rights to do things i like back home, i dont feel like the chinese government has ever exploited my rights as a human being. that is all i can tell you from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese citizen. peace out.
well, I am from Beijing, China. I am currently a student in a college in ohio. personally, I feel I have freedom to do pretty much whatever i want as long as i dont violate the laws in China, just like here in US. For example, I can even walk down the street while drinking my beer in the middle of night and no one would bother me( I think you might end up in jail or be fined for doing that in US).
I would like to point out to the people that are complaining about who stole the maglev technology from the japanese in fact it was British designed in the late 1960's but us Brits didnt use it and sold it to the japanese who later went on the start using it.
well, i don't know about , regular chinese people are cool with the current government,and again, go to tibet to experience it yourself before drawing your conclusion, go talk to the older people(born before 1950) in tibet, let them tell you which is better, before or after 1950.
No, technically Germany is leading the world in terms of maglev technology, since it was made by Siemens and ThyssenKrupp. The Transrapid monorail technology is also owned by the aforementioned Siemens & ThyssenKrupp in a joint manner.
So, i think people should go to tibet to ask local people born before 1950 to see if it is really a living hell as the media have always portrayed before they draw their conclusions.
sadly just the only one in operation in the entire world. there were so many plans for systems in europe and USA.but just cos of tthe accident in Germany, this best future for traintechnology was quit. i hope so much that countries will see the advantages for public transportation and built many of them. maybe some ppl would say china has got the original building plans...yea...but they realized it. if its been like that on other technologies to cry of every single accident and break down technologies after, we would be still in stoneage. so stop crying and realize plans, beginning to built new transsib(20 h instead 6 days)^^
The Shanghai Maglev is the fastest commercial train in the world with an incredible top speed of 431km/h (238 mph) since 2004 is safe and have zero accidents
By saying the shameful accident, is it the one that the Chinese bullet train had a head on collision? I really wondered how they could even have a head on collision.
I think a lot of you just criticize china because other people are doing this and you find it cool. What, why do you say Chinese people are under torture and you haven't ever been to China? Why is it necessary for your country to be the top one, and all the other countries that are trying to prosper are considered "bad" or "sneaky" to you? Think about it before you judge anything, people, that's what your brain is for.
No the problem isn't because the Chinese trains are unsafe.The Chinese trains are just as safe. The problem all started from a lightning strike that caused problems to the track circuits. You also have to note that it is a conventional rail as well not a Maglev. Current Maglev in China has no know accidents that have killed anyone.
I'm Chinese, and I'm not embarrased to say that this is nothing compared to the achievements of India. INDIA SHINING, Long Live BJP, Long Live Modi Ji, JAI HIND
As of the end of June 2017, the vehicle has been submitted to domestic and foreign patent applications 32,000, of which 14,000 invention patents, accounting for nearly 44%.

At present, according to the plan, is the main body of the car as the main body to independent innovation as the core, to create 83 square kilometers of the "world motor town."
It was a freak accident. Also both are different accidents. You also have to note it was a collision vs derailment. Collisions are much more disastrous.
Imagine that train having a collision. All that people moving constantly with the train, then the train suddenly stopping because of the collision. All the people wold bro ably end up at the very front.
Rubbish! the original ideas came from Eric LaithWaite a British rail engineer in England and was aired oh British TV -Tomorrows world I think, A pity you are not old enough to have seen or remember this!
Shanghai is the only place in the world that put German meglev system into commercial operation, are you German? why didn't you guys put the train into commercial operation? Can't afford it?
The BUGATTI of trains!!!
Thank you. I finally got my wish. And that is to know the sensation of being aboard a high speed train. The realism was there. Now how much do I owe in fare?
great my favourite train is maglev
no 574km set by the french Tgv in 2007 altho that was a test. realistically there's a limit with carriages god forbid if they derailed.
and about tibet, some people have the fantasy of tibet that it was a prosperous and autonomous state before 1950. the truth hurts. before 1950, Tibet was merely a society based on feudalism and slavery, a few elite leaders owned Tibet. what the government have been doing in Tibet is to build infrastructures, improving the local economy and standard of living.
Cool !
Not anymore
only 1 second
God.. I'm not even Chinese, but I'm Damn proud!
LOL
The Transrapid is not a product from china. Its a german product. Producer = ThyssenKrupp-Transrapid
They are in corporation with the Chinese government,
Mick Spinz Yes. So china is allowed to use the Transrapid. The train and the technology (singnals and other stuff) comes from germany.
Yep, but the money from China,
So it is china's
4 hours from Shanghai to Beijing including the time that stop at some mid stations.
What does this mean? It means u can have breakfast at LA than have lunch at Chicago.
What are you talking about, there is no maglev from beijing to shanghai
jax yuen oh, sorry , I thought it was the high-speed rail
Anderson Guan well it could go faster its just that that will require a lot of money ,for the rails and eletricity so we are just lucky they have one
I can imagin MAGLEV from Shanghai to Beijing...that would be human wonder! And good for China air...
Władca Wymiaru how much would that cost?
fast quiet and energy efficient.
Well honestly i dont think its that efficent
initial building cost was around 1.2billion USD.
Not so cheap for just 30km track
Wow, it was so fast, that you even couldn't enjoy the whole trip :).
amazing how clean and neat everything is compared to an American train station.
In Soviet China you throw away something like a can of Coke for example, you get the death penalty.
lol
Of course I'm exaggerating, but the ideea is that the Chinese as a people, and in general Asians are very disciplined.
Go to Japan. Japanese cities are cleaner than a Western hospital. Chinese, Korean and Japanese cities are very clean compared to Western cities.
KeillaSellay ....soviet china.... HAHA and totally right america is just dirty ewww omg i ve been to NYC its so damn dirty and people are just so rude. ewww omg i can't even stand those weird creeps in new york and americans act really funny they always think they re cool.
KeillaSellay and i totally agree with you asia is way cleaner than america
It is a jet plane without taking off
Better, jets have lots of moving parts, on these things pretty much the only part that moves is the train itself!
I have faith in the future of trains replacing regional jets. Trains are more environmentally friendly and tickets are less expensive. As well as the procedures of boarding are much more less strict and efficient. I think China is going to be sooner to implement it than the US where both are geographically large countries.

Just by seeing everything rushing past makes me want to vomit. People don't get motion sickness riding in such a super fast train?
One third the time, one third cost of a taxi. Love the Maglev.

Lol in your dreams
When you pay off your debt to China, maybe. But then they'll just use that money to make something cooler.
431 km/h 😨 omg nice
Thanks so much for uploading, great video. The seats looked a little cheap for such an expensive train though
Its more sort of a political statement, than its utility..
Such high speed trains should be meant for long distance.
They might build a longer one , but again its better than nothing right

No... Shanghai still the fastest in world.. because is in service ..those u listed out is just a testing train no passenger can sit it for travel, work etc..not in commercial used
Still a magnetic levitation train ...
Lol.. give an example: - world most advanced stealth fighter still American F-22..although russia T-50, china j-20 or j-31 may better than F-22 in someway ..but those stil under testing conditions not in service. U cant took those testing fighter fight. With. F-22. still Shanghai maglev still on hold fastest.. before those maglev in service
ks thor
In that way ... ^^
these trains are not in commercial operation and it is just a experimental train
They should let the passengers enjoy the wind in a cage on the roof :D
Could probably perform some skydiving stunts then...
its like a monorail but faster
Really cool, thanks for the upload! Even if it was 3 years ago..

From the aspect of human rights, well, i don t quite get it when people talk about China's abuse of human rights, I mean, what is human rights specifically( I apologize for my ignorance)? as far as i am concerned, i have my rights to do things i like back home, i dont feel like the chinese government has ever exploited my rights as a human being. that is all i can tell you from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese citizen. peace out.
well, I am from Beijing, China. I am currently a student in a college in ohio. personally, I feel I have freedom to do pretty much whatever i want as long as i dont violate the laws in China, just like here in US. For example, I can even walk down the street while drinking my beer in the middle of night and no one would bother me( I think you might end up in jail or be fined for doing that in US).
good video, > 400km/hr unbelievable !
I would like to point out to the people that are complaining about who stole the maglev technology from the japanese in fact it was British designed in the late 1960's but us Brits didnt use it and sold it to the japanese who later went on the start using it.
well, i don't know about , regular chinese people are cool with the current government,and again, go to tibet to experience it yourself before drawing your conclusion, go talk to the older people(born before 1950) in tibet, let them tell you which is better, before or after 1950.
Imagine if you managed to attach a ramp onto the track, you could lift the train up and send it flying
it's a major crime and could be sentenced to death
Only if you're caught
No, technically Germany is leading the world in terms of maglev technology, since it was made by Siemens and ThyssenKrupp. The Transrapid monorail technology is also owned by the aforementioned Siemens & ThyssenKrupp in a joint manner.
So, i think people should go to tibet to ask local people born before 1950 to see if it is really a living hell as the media have always portrayed before they draw their conclusions.
sadly just the only one in operation in the entire world. there were so many plans for systems in europe and USA.but just cos of tthe accident in Germany, this best future for traintechnology was quit. i hope so much that countries will see the advantages for public transportation and built many of them. maybe some ppl would say china has got the original building plans...yea...but they realized it. if its been like that on other technologies to cry of every single accident and break down technologies after, we would be still in stoneage. so stop crying and realize plans, beginning to built new transsib(20 h instead 6 days)^^
The Shanghai Maglev is the fastest commercial train in the world with an incredible top speed of 431km/h (238 mph) since 2004 is safe and have zero accidents
By saying the shameful accident, is it the one that the Chinese bullet train had a head on collision? I really wondered how they could even have a head on collision.
I think a lot of you just criticize china because other people are doing this and you find it cool. What, why do you say Chinese people are under torture and you haven't ever been to China? Why is it necessary for your country to be the top one, and all the other countries that are trying to prosper are considered "bad" or "sneaky" to you? Think about it before you judge anything, people, that's what your brain is for.
No the problem isn't because the Chinese trains are unsafe.The Chinese trains are just as safe.
The problem all started from a lightning strike that caused problems to the track circuits.
You also have to note that it is a conventional rail as well not a Maglev.
Current Maglev in China has no know accidents that have killed anyone.
I'm Chinese, and I'm not embarrased to say that this is nothing compared to the achievements of India. INDIA SHINING, Long Live BJP, Long Live Modi Ji, JAI HIND
its not stolen technology~ they might have paid good money to get expertise from germany or japan to make such trains for china : )
The only thing India created out of the list that he put up was - oh wait nothing. Indians created Buddhism, yoga, curry, etc.
As of the end of June 2017, the vehicle has been submitted to domestic and foreign patent applications 32,000, of which 14,000 invention patents, accounting for nearly 44%. With 22,000 authorized patents, the current effective patent 17,000. "The strength of leading intellectual property is a solid foundation and a strong incentive to create a" revival number. "The official said that at present, the car's products have been exported to 102 countries and regions around the world, and the support of intellectual property rights is obvious. At present, the car has four high-speed EMU related to the effective licensing of more than 1,600 pieces of patents. Independent development of the "revival", CRH380A high-speed EMU to play the Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Guangzhou and other high-speed railway operations, and created a 486.1 km of the world's highest railway operating speed test. At present, according to the plan, is the main body of the car as the main body to independent innovation as the core, to create 83 square kilometers of the "world motor town."
and simply blaming or slandering China won't help to change anything, it can only provoke hostility and misunderstanding.
Goes to show how primitive our UK train network is our top speed trains are about 130/140 mph'ish but these fly man
Actually, all of these things were refined elsewhere.China just takes the original and copies.No improvement.
It was a freak accident. Also both are different accidents.
You also have to note it was a collision vs derailment.
Collisions are much more disastrous.
I think, TVG train is the most fastest train in the world now..... if i cannot mistaken not in china.
Imagine that train having a collision. All that people moving constantly with the train, then the train suddenly stopping because of the collision. All the people wold bro ably end up at the very front.
Rubbish! the original ideas came from Eric LaithWaite a British rail engineer in England and was aired oh British TV -Tomorrows world I think, A pity you are not old enough to have seen or remember this!
Lightning strike on circults causing signeling problems.
You should of looked into what actually happened before calling it shameful.
pretty exhilirating ride could be. and can cost a lost of money compare to riding a bus.
You can ride a maglev train in the US.. go to the station area 51.. and enjoy your taxes..
Look at the empty seats this line was never profitable but yet shanghai municipality makes sure it runs continously
I dream that here in Brazil, however my politicians are thieves and corrupt,cool video!
Right it is about 5 dollars more but it is still worth it when you go to another city
300kph a few minutes after departure you`d be forgiven if the train didn`t sprout wings and take off.
That would really be too bad if some kids threw some big rocks up on the guideway.
yea they are so great that they have to borrowed their writing system from china,
would be nice if this loaded as fast as this train moves, Google . stop your shit.
As a Asian china is our pride yes we overtake by our hard work and knowledge .
the amezing you are luky i am indian the indian country is not loaunch the bullet train
It´s not the maglev system as far as i know.. It´s from Thyssen in Germany
Shanghai is the only place in the world that put German meglev system into commercial operation, are you German? why didn't you guys put the train into commercial operation? Can't afford it?
@@timscott5796 No need. Germany is a small country.
You say it, it should at least partly replace aircrafts in the future.
5:23 holy cow
this why chinese bullet trains are not maglev. Don't be a sour grape.
do you know that bugatti veyron super sport goes top of speed 268 mph
a rail to sweden, that's ambitious and a lot of work need to be done
cui.............................. ya te cargo la chin......!!!!!!
How much was the fare? is it more expensive?
the shanghai maglev train is german not chinese tec...
The only high speed train in the US is the Amtrack Accela which only runs
in the NE corridor at a top speed of 250KPH
rbagel55 this is needed in nyc mta
world's fastest train in commercial operation
like an aircraft on the ground :D
Shanghai Maglev as Lagos State Monorail
I know its fast but it actually doesn't look that fast
Wanna see how 862 Kmph feels like? Fwd to 5:22
Thanks for sharing, auntiealoha. I love Shanghai! :)
The ticked cost MUST be HIGH!
well maybe not the best but still great
the led screen looks like vpis led screen
Where did you get this information? Sir.
HAHHAHA CHINA IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!
as a Chinese i am so damn Proud!
+thesuperproify the train was developed and built by the german company Siemens.
