Coming in July: Get from Shanghai to Nanjing in under an hour

Getting from here to Nanjing could take about as long (or even less time) than getting from Hongqiao to Jinqiao come this July. The "world's fastest railway," which runs at 350kmph begins testing in May, will cut down travel time between the two cities from two-and-a-half hours right now to just 52 minutes. That's fast! Unfortunately, the rise in speed also means a rise in prices: tickets are expected to be 150RMB, compared with 93RMB right now.
