      Same. Super fast service, super clean, loads of leg room.

        And frequent, if you miss a train, it's barely an inconvenience to grab the next one

          Oh, absolutely. The Tokyo -> Kyoto shinkansen arrives something like every 10 minutes. If I miss a bus where I am, it's an hour wait at best for another one.
