Korean KTX bullet trains operator has partnered with KT to provide the same 3G Internet in the cars for passengers between Seoul-Busan route. They are upgrading the network to Wibro now, an Wimax wireless broadband Internet with download speed at up to 50Mbps. I miss my AVE trip to Seville long time ago.

LA used to have the largest electric-powered train system in the world. They tore it all up and replaced it with the current freeway system now in place in Southern California.

A truly myopic decision, as they are now trying to figure out how to re-install a light-rail system that worked just fine nearly a century ago.

We can put a man on the moon but we can’t build a train!

I’m not too tech savvy as far as combining transportation and communication, but the other day I gave a driver the finger who cut me off on my bike.

What does that trip cost one-way and round trip? I took the Madrid-Sevilla AVE line and it was truly a marvel. You can almost feel the G forces in your gut when the train gets up and runs. The Valencia-Madrid line looks to be progressing rapidly for its intended 2010 start.

You can tell your browser to trust the renfe certificate manually, but the steps to take to do this vary from browser to browser.

@AndrewW:
La mejor oferta depende del horario, origen y destino. Tienes razón al fijarte que hay ofertas en la página renfe.es que son bien baratas.
La manera para aprovechar de estas ofertas depende del sistema operativo y navegador que utilizas para acceder la red, pero hacer tu cuenta de usuario es fácil y grátis, y comprar “online” con tarjeta de crédito es fácil y ‘barato.’
La información que he compartido aquí es nada más que mi propia opinion, y lo que recomiendo para los demás usuarios de notesfromspain, y no pretendo representar la empresa renfe, sino compartir lo que he experimentado por mi propia cuenta.
