@F4HA604
where is the objectivity?
Exactly, there's not much of a business case for this line compared to the original shinkansen line. With the original shinkansen line it became possible for people in Osaka to make full-day business or tourist trips to Tokyo which they might not otherwise have taken, a big economic boost. This line doesn't really change anything that significantly, people can just have slightly more time in Tokyo on a day trip. That's unlikely to provide much of an economic boost. Wealthy people might be able to commute from further away, as far away as Nagoya. That might provide a bit of a boost to Nagoya, but that's the only benefit I can see.
