High speed train as a green transport

High-speed rail has been around since 1964. It first tribute in 1964, when Japan introduced the first modern high-speed train which use electricity as its power source. Since 1980, countries around Asia and Europe utilize the high-speed rail to connect between major cities up to 1,000 kilometers apa...
