@microlaser2

most high speed rail runs at around 300km/h

it is similar to how most express way around the world have cars driving at

around 100km/h or so.

because that is the most reasonable speed to operate such vehicle with today's technology.

France did not copy Japanese bullet train.

That's like saying Ford copied Daimler.

French technology is different from Japanese.

each have its own advantages and disadvantages.
