March 29th, 2010 08:17 PM #31It would really needs substantial period of time in realizing certain plan like this. For example the Taiwan High Speed Rail. Planning and conceptualization stage of the project started on the early 1980's. Construction stage started in March 2000. Testing, commissioning and test/trial runs started in January 2005 and operation (for the entire line operations) started in March 2007. However, in other countries (e.g. China, which is a communist country) the length of materialization is much less as the country is not similar as the so called democracy countries.
BTW, our company constructed one package of the Taiwan High Speed Rail from 2000 ~ 2004 (civil works only)

1. it would most likely end up "aesthetically pleasing" as it needs to be as aerodynamic as possible if they expect it to reach 200kph
2. I reckon they'd consider that being a major mode of transport and all so it had to be strategically placed in order to create profit
the most likely problem they have to deal with if they plan on making the project cover the whole of luzon is the NPA and natural calamityDamn, son! Where'd you find this?

if this north to south Luzon high speed rail transport becomes reality, it will take customers away from bus lines... even airlines
though it won't beat the speed of air travel, if a bullet train ticket from Manila to Ilocos Norte will cost less than half an airplane ticket, people will take the trainLast edited by uls; March 30th, 2010 at 11:27 AM.

if it'll cost 600-1200 petot, people will indeed patronize it.

April 1st, 2010 01:50 PM #37It should be lower than what the domestic airlines are offering. For the shinkansen of Japan, medyo mahal just like the bullet train in Europe. But at least it will provide options to passengers and at the same time, it will serve as part of the eco-tourist attraction for the Philippines.

personally, I think such project will materialize considering that it is done in a corporate level and run with profit in mind and I don't think the person behind it would let the whole thing go to waste if the project already started since it's his fortune on the line

Ok to, di na masyado magiging hassle mag set up ng business sa probinsiya kasi mabilisan na nag byahe, more businesses in rural areas means more employment,more employment in rural areas means lesser migration to the cities, less squatters.
Thanks, will research more about it.
