Read this again, Peter:
The problem is, nobody wants to pay the price premiums of the River Crap ...

I don't see anything worth bashing here. The new highspeed route has been open for only a few days, and bashers like you are already itching to bash the Chinese.
The new price is more reasonable as the old price was low and heavily subsidized anyway. The ridership will increase rapidly over time as more people know about the new service.
The cancelled trains are also highspeed trains (D series) which were running on old tracks.
"原有上海南京間的D5401-D5450總計25次動車組列車全部停開" means they now have new schedule for the D series trains on the new route that use the new tracks. So they just cancelled the previous D series trains schedule that used the older tracks. So new D series schedule replaced old D series schedule. They still have highspeed train service between Shanghai and Nanjing.
"旅客除了委身“綠皮車”(普通快車)以外" means for those who want cheaper trains, they can still use those slower green color trains.
The migrant workers can still take those. So why are you saying there are no cheap trains for the migrant workers? Please read again your article.
Also, the utilization of resources is getting even more efficient. As more passenger traffic is diverted to the highspeed tracks, the existing older tracks will accommodate more freight traffic which is growing rapidly. This means the rapid delivery of farm products, and freight. |
