| Can bullet trains really solve the problem? |
When I heard about the news that a government sector has been eyeing a new bullet train project that will eventually bridge the miles between Metro Manila and Clark International Airport, I was astonished at first. But suddenly, I ended up scratching the back of my head while voluntarily crumpling a few of my facial muscles.
I realized that this may doesn't sound as good as two thumbs up at all. I understand though that this may be a sign of a fast growing and developing economy, but I felt more bothered about how our recent MRT/LTR (Metro Rail Transit/ Light Rail Transit) scenario really looks like everyday. I guess, this needs more attention than laying out another more grandiose and expensive plan like putting up a new railway system for bullet trains just to reduce the travel time going to the airport in Clark (and to other provinces).
