Pakistan’s close friend China surpasses India in this list, even Japan, UK, Germany, US also struggling; Russia, Turkey rank at..

The Indian Railways system has improved our lives considerably. It connects every part of India and facilitates travel throughout the country. While India has the world’s fourth-largest railway network, the country has yet to effectively implement a high-speed rail system. The first bullet train corridor in India is being constructed from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, and it will take some time to become operational.

Which list has China overtaken India? What ranking is being referred to?

China boasts a high-speed rail network of 45,000 km, which makes it unparalleled in the world. For any train to be considered “high-speed,” it must operate at least 200 km/h, according to the International Union of Railways. In India, the country’s fastest train – the Vande Bharat Express – can reach a maximum speed of 180 km/h, yet operates at much lower speeds. Even the United States is behind most countries in developing a high-speed rail network.

Why are Japan, the UK, Germany, and the US struggling? What challenges are these countries facing?

Spain has the second-largest high-speed railway network in the world after China. It has built a total of 3,966 km of high-speed rail so far. Japan comes in third position with 3,096 km, followed by France (2,800 km), the UK (2,214 km), Germany (1,658 km), Finland (1,120 km), Italy (1,117 km), and South Korea (877 km), all ranking among the top 10 countries with the most extensive high-speed rail systems.
