It would complete the 108-mile long journey to just 47 minutes from three hours.
The train has stoppages at 10 stations out of which many would be in close proximity to the Winter Olympics sporting venues.
Belonging to China’s Fuxing series of bullet trains, the vehicle is capable of speeds up to 350 km/h and that too without anyone on the driver’s seat.
Every individual seat comes equipped with a touch screen and a wireless charging port. In order to facilitate media and athletes during the Winter Olympics, it has larger storage areas, a dining car that can be transformed into a media room and removable seats to accommodate wheelchair-bound Paralympians.
