It is a proven environment-friendly transport option, according to the NHSRCL, responsible for developing and implementing the bullet train project. ( Data from the National High-Speed Rail Corporation s website shows, the carbon emission for a 600 km trip per passenger by the high-speed rail is 8.1 kg, compared to 67.4 kg for car travel and 93 kg for airplane travel, according to a study by the International Union of Railways. This means that the carbon emission by the high-speed rail is far lesser than a car or an airplane.
