First, the fares are different.
Because the operating cost of high-speed rail is higher, it needs to lay extra rails, but the bullet train doesn't, and its cost is lower, because it doesn't need to lay rails again. Therefore, the price of high-speed rail will be at least twice as high as that of motor train, and people can distinguish it by looking at the price. In addition, bullet trains and ordinary trains can get on at the same station, while high-speed trains generally have their own stations, mainly because the tracks are different.
Second, the names are different.
Tickets will show different titles, and their naming rules are the same, and they are all named according to the initials of their names. The high-speed train is "G" and the bullet train is "D", so people can distinguish it according to the name of the train. In addition, for safety reasons, only moving cars will drive at night.
Third, the running speed is different.
The high-speed rail is very fast, with a speed of 200 to 300 kilometers per hour, while the motor train can't reach 300 kilometers, so it is faster and takes less time. People can judge whether the car is a high-speed train or a bullet train by the length of time.
Basic characteristics of high-speed rail:
1, the high-speed rail is very smooth, ensuring the safety and comfort of driving. The high-speed railway is a seamless rail, and the high-speed railway with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour adopts a ballastless track, that is, a monolithic ballast bed without stones, to ensure smoothness.
2. The turnouts of high-speed railway are movable high-speed turnouts with few bends and large radius.
3. Elevated bridges and tunnels are widely used. So as to ensure ride comfort and shorten the distance.
4. The catenary of high-speed railway, that is, the suspension mode of the conductor at the top of the train is also different from that of ordinary railway to ensure the contact stability and durability of high-speed EMU.
5. The signal control system of high-speed railway is higher than that of ordinary railway because of its high departure density, high speed and high safety.
