You said HSR loses money. You said you were talking about HSR only, not taking in the other lines JR Central operates. Now you're backtracking and saying it loses money because the conventional lines are unprofitable. Which is it?
>This one line might generate some nice revenue, but it is being supported by a bunch of feeder lines that are all losing moneyMany of the narrow gauge lines have existed since the imperial era, or were built during reconstruction after WWII. That debt is long baked in and confused with everything else from the IGR and JNR eras. Regarding the Tokaido shinkansen, if you actually bothered to read
>>1256232, you would have seen that JR Central is actively paying down the debt incurred from the construction of the Tokaido shinkansen line.
>California is trying to make a high speed line and it is a disaster.>making the mistake of thinking Californian implementation of HSR is representative of HSR in Japan and elsewhere in the worldISHYGDDT
