no hate to colour one cause they can colour code these according to eastern bound or west bound or south bound trains or by railway division. There is so much potential for our railways. plz free us from this orange we already know it's your party who did it plz.

Wanted to get a sense of speed for the HSR corridor, so I pitted it against everything from Cars to Usain Bolt.

Feel the Speed!! 🚅

Note: These figures represent the per-passenger cost for energy, fuel, chicken nuggets, or electricity, rather than actual ticket prices.

  • By Car: The average travel distance is 520 km with an average travel time of 8h 10m acc Team-BHP.
    Fuel costs are based on a Petrol Maruti achieving 17 kmpl with 4 passengers onboard.
  • HSR (High-Speed Rail): Covers 508 km in 2h 07m according to public information. Electricity costs are loosely taken at 30 kWh per km at ₹9.8 per kWh, assuming an 8-coach train carrying 750 passengers.
  • Flight: According to MakeMyTrip, the duration ranges from 1h 10m to 1h 30m, so I've averaged it to 1h 20m over a flying distance of 450 km. Fuel costs per passenger in an A320 are calculated at 15.4 liters of fuel at ₹90.4 per liter.
  • Vande Bharat: Covers a distance of 491 km in 5h 30m acc to RailYatri. Electricity consumption is 20 kWh per km acc to TOI at a price of ₹9.8 per unit.
  • Usain Bolt: With an average speed of 9.58 m/s, many tabloids say that Bolt consumed 100 chicken nuggets a day in his prime while running approximately 500m at sprint speeds. At a price of ₹200 for 9 nuggets, Bolt would consume 100 nuggets to run 500m at full speed.
  • Walking: Based on 5 km per day at an average speed of 1.34 m/s. This requires 2,500 calories or 50 nuggets at a price of ₹200 per 9 nuggets.
