I’d be interested to know how long the free system has been in use and how it’s working out.

only a 50% increase, and you can also go high speed to moscow and plans are afoot to get you to beijing, so the argument for distance does not really hold water

Both High and low speed, high speed runs about anywhere between 300 and 330kph, obviously slower in cities and towns.
Low speed is about 130-160kph (estimate)
both are comfortable and reliable and you have internet and power, so you can work on board.
There is (on a few routes) a road train that picks up your car, and you meet it at your destination
They also offer a service to pick up your luggage and it will be waiting for you on the other end.
Low speed trains, offer an office area, a play area (for kids .. duh) and trolley service.
the trains are run as a service (ie. not for profit) and transport up to 2k people at a go.
go on go on go on … buy a few any doubts check this out
