My brother told his story  while we rode that he just came from Japan.  And his memorable experience there was riding the bullet train.  The ticket pass cost him P13,000 and he could use it using the bullet train from north to south.  His guide was consulting for Japan for a bullet train proposal.

It is  a great idea and the lobby for the bus lines  shipping, and even airlines, which enrich so many operators, and shipping would lobby hard to have the project stopped.  It would take the wind out of their enriching sail.  But it would benefit many Filipinos.  Faster, cheaper travel from north to south

But do we have the money and the trained men who can operate this.  (Dapat PPP and BOT muna)

The Manila Clark bullet train  will whisk travellers between the two cities in 45 minutes.   It will cost
$3 billion to be sponsored by JICA.  Can it be done soon?
