Since high-speed rail is so developed, what is the reason for keeping the train?

Because the construction cost of high-speed rail is higher than that of trains, there are certain requirements for the local economy. That is to say, if a certain city is particularly lagging behind in economic development, and also does not have enough capacity to bear the running cost of high-speed rail, then there is certainly no way to build high-speed rail. Nowadays, the development of science and technology is getting faster and faster, and our life has become more and more convenient. In ancient times people had to travel by horseback or on foot, and even going to neighboring cities took days.

But now transportation has become more and more convenient, people can choose bus, subway, train, high-speed rail, plane when traveling. Wherever you go has become very convenient and fast. Our country's high-speed rail has always been famous in the world, because the speed of high-speed rail is not only very fast, but also very stable when running, even for those who are usually very prone to motion sickness, and then basically do not have the feeling of motion sickness when sitting on high-speed rail. However, the history of high-speed rail is not so long, and it is only in the last few years that it has been gradually developed.

Before the emergence of high-speed rail, people generally rely on trains and airplanes to travel. And airplanes have always been irreplaceable as a means of transportation, but many people are curious, high-speed rail and trains basically serve the same purpose, why now there is high-speed rail there will still be many places to travel by train? In fact, this is a very normal thing, because the construction of high-speed rail requires great labor and monetary costs, and it also requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources. You should also be able to find out that generally in the more developed cities, high-speed rail and train are both available, but in some more backward cities, there may be only train without high-speed rail.

This is because these more backward cities have slow economic development and do not have too much cost to support the running cost of high-speed rail. And these slower developing cities don't have too many people to choose to take the high speed train, the ticket price of the high speed train is usually more expensive than the train, this is also because of the high cost of running the high speed train. So in some poorer cities, even if there is high-speed rail, many people will go to take the train to save money.
