It may have been the top trend of the day with #BulletTrain spinning super-fast dreams for the twitterati, but Bibek Debroy, a railway expert, says the $19 billion project will be irrelevant for all but a tiny portion of Indians. "95% people are those that travel in unreserved compartments, and not Rajdhani or Shatabdi. To them this day counts for nothing," said Dr Debroy, who is a member of the NITI Aayog, the government's main policy think-tank.
