Join the real world......US also does not have any high speed rail system which does not make you laugh or cry. Guess they like their cars too much....the Brits like their buses too much and have been well served by the bus companies until now....In Asia buses are craps and cars...they belch out too much smogs...and smokes....We are also crazy drivers too(so are the Yanks come to think of it)...

I am glad to see the fruits of our labor. I am one of those Filipino engineers who contributed to this project. We built the tunnels, the viaducts, the bridges, earthworks, substations, trackworks and the stations itself. Aftwer 5 years I left Taiwan when we completed the civil works and I left Taiwan with sadness coz learned to love Taiwan. Taiwan is a great country with great people and beautiful sceneries. Thanks Taiwan for being a good host to all of us.

Industrious people of Taiwan made this railroad successful.

Congratulations, Taiwan.

It is only Japan and Taiwan that can operate a bullet train safely in an Asia.

@idiotman76 Yes, the fastest HSR in a country with 300 mio people ;)

And it's pretty expensive compared to European and Asian trains.
