I will go for train as well. If it’s close to the speed of TGV or Japanese bullet, KL-Singapore vice versa could take just 2 hours… could be faster than plane considering the boarding and traveling to airport etc.

I am not sure what’s the train ticket price now, can’t jump into conclusion that the price might hike… but I am thinking that it could be cheaper than Nice.

Try jumping off a moving TGV… I bet your chance are not much better than jumping off a plane lol.

Hi Jee,

“M’sia Boleh” believe it will eventuate sooner if not later. like the introduction of Nice 1 &2 to SIngapore & Penang, better bus, better entertainment with beverage on board, full air con. can’t complaint, man.

if we have the TGV or Bullet train, won’t the fare go up. and if it’s almost the same as airfare, wonder who will take train or plane.

I will go for train…much safer at least can jump off..can’t jump off a plane lol.

Well, your dream is a bit beyond our reach… there is a recent project from YTL about a high speed rail from Singapore to KL (or perhaps further north), which I hope will work out well. Imagine traveling from KL to Singapore in 2 hours, should be pretty cool and beneficial for both country.

wow, that would really mean that we can reach places in much faster time than we used to. I am still waiting for something like the technology from Star Trek to ever become possible :)
