There, I found something interesting about Japanese train. In the corner of the museum, I saw an information board which has those interesting fact, The Shinkansen, An Ecofriendly Vehicle. Then I felt curious, why shinkansen is not only bullet train, but also Ecofriendly vehicle. It such a great combination. In the information board, even its written all in Japanese, they can make me understand just by seeing the diagram. It provides three poins as follow:
- Railway is environmental friendly vehicle.
They compare the CO2 emission which is produced by several kinds of vehicle such as bus, air plane, and private car. And train has the lowest carbon emission though.
- The Shinkansen is an environmentally superior transportation system.
Comparing to the airplane, the common used mass and long distance transportation, shinkansen even only produces 1 per 12 of air plane carbon emission.
- The shinkansen continues to evolve better energy efficiency.
From the first shinkansen at 1964 until its fourth generation in the 2007, the energy usage is getting decreased. They develop the speed along with the energy efficiency development.
Now, this bullet train is not available in all countries, but it possible, because of its promising energy efficiency, in the future this kind of bullet train can become a popular vehicle. And I optimist that in the future, people get realizing how important environment, how important reducing CO2, how important saving energy, so that mass public transportation will also get developed to build a greener Earth.

Dear Mukhlish, wow! interesting to know about Shinkansen, An Eco friendly Vehicle. Energy efficient and sustainable system of Transportation. Nepal is in need of eco- friendly vehicles as people are suffering a lot from fuel crisis these days.
Thank you for sharing :)

Mukhlish, the Japanese museum seems huge. Nice pics.
They are indeed sustainable & less energy intensive. Same like Dubai Metro. Its emissions are quite less.
Agreed, that bullet trains must be introduced throughout the world. The sustainability factor will contribute for energy savings.

Its good to know that Japan is vigilant on the C02 emissions of different forms of transport. Thanks for the interesting report:)

It's interesting to read about Shinkansen- an environmentally superior transportation system in Japan. This is the best example of sustainable development. It is one of the fastest train , at the same time energy efficient and has been so successful. I hope other countries also develop such eco-friendly mass transport system. Thanks for sharing, Mukhlish.
