Wang said more trains would be put into service in the future as the signal system allowed trains at minimum intervals of three minutes.

At least three kinds of trains already run between the two cities.

D-category trains run at 200 to 250 km per hour and take 70 minutes. Passengers pay 51 yuan for a first-class seat and 42 yuan for a second-class seat.

K-category trains run slower and take 100 minutes. The maximum fare is 20 yuan.

A third category runs only during major holidays, such as the Lunar New Year, and supplements regular services.
