Box 2 - The operations of the Shinkansen<br />
The Shinkansen train (Picture 4) and high-speed rail operations in Japan, allow us to make a<br />
wi<strong>de</strong>r comparison of high-speed rail operations on a global scale.<br />
The 550 km high-speed line from Tokyo to Osaka is very successful, carrying 163 million<br />
passengers per year. There are many reasons for this success: the line connects megacities<br />
with populations of several million; trains r<strong>un</strong> on <strong>de</strong>dicated tracks at a very high fre<strong>que</strong>ncy<br />
(up to 433 trains per day); service reliability and p<strong>un</strong>ctuality are outstanding (in 2016, the<br />
average <strong>de</strong>lay was less than 24 seconds throughout the year); and there are state-of-the-art<br />
safety and security measures in the stations and along the line, as well as sufficient support<br />
to travellers in stations.<br />
