Anyone here hail from a country that uses high speed rail systems? We can't get those in america due to political and corporate sabotage but I wondered how they worked in countries that have them.
We have a high speed rail system here in South Africa called the Gautrain which serves the area between Pretoria (where I live) and Johannesburg.

It's quiet, clean and efficient: the bus service is good too.
