Description
Indonesia's 'WHOOSH' train does exactly that. The high speed link from Jakarta to Bandung used to take three to four hours, now it's a 35 minute journey, peaking at speeds of 350 km/hour.
It's a remarkable piece of high tech infrastructure, but it's also been the subject of corruption investigations and questions over debt to China.
