Bullet train services disrupted again after holiday chaos

@Newgirlintown

I truly don't comprehend your perspective. It's quite challenging for individuals who've lost their homes. And in situations where there's no forewarning, you might find yourself also questioning why there wasn't any alert given. It is a pitty to read comments like this which has no meaningful content.

Any delay over 2 hours entitles you to a full refund of the express fare portion of the ticket. You have a year to claim it so don't throw away your tickets if your train is delayed.

My trip took 4 hours extra but it's my fault for traveling during a typhoon

Thanks jr staff for all your hard work

Take your time and do it safely, people understand and will wait till things are back to normal, Utskaresama des.

I can’t afford a Shinkansen. But when I use, I feel like I am flying business classs with no pesky security checks. I would rather wait in a train station than an airport.

You can't afford a shinkansen???

Tokyo to Osaka ia only around 15,000~20,000.

You must be confusing exchange rates. I spend more than that on lunch, booze and snacks while waiting for it.

For once I like what Rodney said....once.

Safety is first for Japanese shinkansen. Very less accidents for shinkansen history. Better to safe than accident

Japanese are proud and love of shinkansen!

Agree they are not expansive. Very convenient.

Oh well you can’t beat nature complain all you like

As long as everyone was safe, that is what is important.

I spend more than that on lunch, booze and snacks while waiting for it.

not sure if you’re trying to brag about how much you can afford to spend on lunch or you are over eating yourself to a heart attack. Stay safe and healthy.

Roughly converting your claim to dollars, that's anywhere from $120-$150. On lunch, booze and snacks while waiting for a bullet train? Thanks for the laugh.
