Is there hot water available on bullet trains?
2 Answers
Hot water is available on bullet trains and is supplied 24 hours a day, located between the two carriages. Here is some relevant information about bullet trains: Bullet train: The full name is power vehicle, which refers to vehicles equipped with power devices in rail transit systems, including two major categories: locomotives and power carriages. Bullet trains are equipped with driving wheels, while the corresponding vehicles without driving devices are trailers. For a train to operate normally on the track, it must have bullet trains to provide sufficient traction for the entire train, but it does not need to pull trailers without power. Driving equipment: A bullet train is a railway vehicle equipped with wheel driving machinery and equipment, not an electric multiple unit (EMU). Not only high-speed trains have bullet trains, but all types of train transportation, including conventional-speed EMUs, ordinary-speed trains, subway trains, light rail trains, monorail trains, and maglev trains, have bullet trains.
As someone who frequently goes on road trips, I can say that wanting to drink hot tea during long drives isn't much of an issue. While cars don't come with dedicated water boilers, you can bring your own thermos filled with hot water. I often carry a large thermos, filling it with boiling water before departure—it keeps the water hot for several hours. Alternatively, you can use a car inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter to power an electric kettle for heating water. Just remember not to operate it while driving; wait until you've parked to avoid distractions. Some newer SUVs even come with USB ports that can power electric kettles. However, be mindful not to drain your car's battery—I always check the battery condition before using such devices. Overall, with some advance preparation like bringing a thermos or safely using portable equipment, having hot water on the go is entirely feasible.
