“…HSRs are found to affect airline traffic, increase employment, affect GDP and income, promote academic cooperation, and encourage innovation by decreasing transportation costs in China ( Chen et al, 2016 , Lin, 2017 , Ke et al, 2017 , Dai et al, 2018 , Yu et al, 2019 , Zhang et al, 2019 , Dong et al, 2020 , Gao and Zheng, 2020 , Hanley et al, 2022 ). In other countries, existing studies also confirm that HSRs increase the GDP per capita, improve productivity, and affect airline passenger flows ( Cascetta et al, 2020 , Avogadro et al, 2021 , Bhatt and Kato, 2021 , Miwa et al, 2022 ). This paper complements existing studies by demonstrating that HSRs also contribute to the spread of a contagious disease.…”

“…(2) Policies should be in place for providing useful knowledge to railway service users within railway stations, such as creating information dissemination points and signs with beneficial information, which should be developed to be more globally accessible (e.g., in English), and (3) Policies should promote activities related to the continuous development of knowledge for railway service personnel, such as exchanging knowledge and work experiences among employees, aligning with the study's results that suggest opening opportunities for employees to communicate, leading to the transfer of knowledge from external sources. This is important as employees may play a crucial role in exchanging valuable ideas and experiences beneficial for organizational development [120].…”

Countries that are still developing experience significant disparities in access to railway services, as these nations also grapple with societal inequality issues that remain unaddressed. In developed countries, railway transportation systems serve as the primary mode of transportation for both passengers and goods. However, in recent years, studies on disparities in developed countries have increased, while literature concerning developing countries remains scarce. Therefore, this study takes place in Thailand, a developing country facing significant population disparities. The objective is to examine factors contributing to these disparities in access to railway transportation systems across cities, using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to identify user disparities. The sample group comprises 1,252 randomly selected railway users from various regions in Thailand, obtained through Stratified Random Sampling. The results reveal seven dimensions of disparities: cultural, spatial, societal, political, knowledge-based, economic, and environmental. The CFA results also highlight cultural disparities as a significant factor in explaining access disparities among railway users. These findings can inform relevant organizations, aiding them in better understanding the actual needs of railway users and aligning railway development plans accordingly. Ultimately, this contributes to policy development aimed at reducing access disparities and fostering a more equitable society. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-03-01 Full Text: PDF

“…New activity centres are unlikely to emerge at the minor or intermediate nodes of the network, as the main nodes are expected to receive priority from the HSR linkages. Miwa, Bhatt, Morikawa, and Kato (2022) stated that regional innovation has been sparked by HSR development in towns that have HSR stations or are close to them. More chances for information transfers among human capital may be produced by HSR's greater accessibility.…”

PurposeIn an increasingly interconnected world, transportation infrastructure has emerged as a critical determinant of economic growth and global competitiveness. High-speed rail (HSR), characterized by its exceptional speed and efficiency, has garnered widespread attention as a transformative mode of transportation that transcends borders and fosters economic development. The Kuala Lumpur – Singapore (KL-SG) HSR project stands as a prominent exemplar of this paradigm, symbolizing the potential of HSR to serve as a catalyst for national economic advancement.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is prepared to provide an insight into the benefits and advantages of HSR based on proven case studies and references from global HSRs, including China, Spain, France and Japan.FindingsThe findings that have been obtained focus on enhanced connectivity and accessibility, attracting foreign direct investment, revitalizing regional economies, urban development and city regeneration, boosting tourism and cultural exchange, human capital development, regional integration and environmental and sustainability benefits.Originality/valueThe KL-SG HSR, linking Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, epitomizes the potential for HSR to be a transformative agent in the realm of economic development. This project encapsulates the aspirations of two dynamic Southeast Asian economies, united in their pursuit of sustainable growth, enhanced connectivity and global competitiveness. By scrutinizing the KL-SG High-Speed Rail through the lens of economic benchmarking, a deeper understanding emerges of how such projects can drive progress in areas such as cross-border trade, tourism, urban development and technological innovation.
