we have plenty of bullet trains - 367 last I checked, plus bullet trains from other countries - they’re just chronically late because of car-focused policies over the last decades causing the infrastructure to basically rot away.
Well, also plus random homeless guy yelling at you about Vladimir Lenin, the roads looking like Romania ca. 1983 and a cadre of stern government employees showing up out of nowhere to shout “NEIN!!” and disappear. Very futuristic in a sort of Metro 2033 way.
Germany is the same but without the bullet trains and the robots wiping your ass.

still no ass-wiping robots though, maybe one day…

Japan has one maglev line under construction with a completion date set for 2045.

As a Romanian, that would be overestimating our ability to maintain roads.
Roads? Where we’re going we won’t NEED roads!
It’s Romania, we’re going to Romania.
Yeah, when I think of Germany, I think of papers.
Germany doesn’t have bidets? France does.
Bidet as it may
