What's the difference between high-speed rail, bullet train and train?

High-speed rail is not called a car. High-speed rail is short for high-speed railway. It refers to the railway with high design speed of infrastructure and high safety running speed of trains on the track. The running speed of the train is above 200 km/h.

The difference between high-speed rail and bullet train;

First, bullet trains refer to cars, while high-speed trains refer to lines.

Motor train refers to the train running according to the principle of power dispersion, and refers to the train model; High-speed rail refers to the railway built with high-standard technology, which refers to the line type.

Second, the abbreviations are different.

High-speed rail, usually starting with G, is the full name of "high-speed EMU passenger train", referred to as "high-speed rail"; EMU, usually starting with D, is the full name of EMU passenger train or bullet train for short.

Third, the running speed is different.

The biggest difference between high-speed trains and ordinary trains is the speed gap. The speed of motor trains is 200 to 250 kilometers per hour, and the speed of high-speed trains is 300 to 350 kilometers per hour.

Fourth, the trajectory is different.

The track of the motor train is on the ballasted track, that is, the track covered with stones, while the high-speed rail uses the ballastless track, so the stability is better. Different cars take different roads, which is why many cities want to build new high-speed railway station. In the train diagram, the prefix G has the highest level, so it is necessary to avoid the high-speed rail when the bullet train passes.

5. The high-speed rail fare is more expensive than the bullet train.

The second-class seat of the high-speed rail, the fare is about 0.48 yuan/km; The second-class fare of the bullet train is about 0.3 1/ km, but if G and D run on the line with a speed of 200km/h, the second-class fare is the same.

Sixth, the seating arrangement is different.

Motor trains generally have only first-class seats and second-class seats. In addition to first-class seats, most high-speed trains also have business seats and special seats, so the environment is better. Usually, the internal equipment of high-speed rail is better and more advanced. For example, the "Fuxing" EMU trains are basically "G".
