On his experience of travelling in a bullet train, CM Yadav said, "We came to hear about bullet train in the news on TV, paper. But after sitting on the bullet train, we travelled in the morning and now we are going back. It feels that how can we travel like airplane on the train and many times we used to think how can a train runs above 300, 400, 500 kilometres. But, it looks like a normal train is running. Many times, our train with a speed of hundred, looks much faster because it rumbles. But, it is running very strongly that it shows us to build confidence in our advanced technology. It is a part of the effective system. So, in the coming times, Honorable Modi has talked about the bullet train scheme from Ahmedabad to Mumbai. We are working on various types of train projects here as well. Through Honorable Modi Ji, we have started imagining this kind of rail network to be built in the future with the help of Japan. Although it is still in the early stages, we hope that we will do so with the confidence of new technology in the coming times."(ANI)
