來作個有趣的實驗....同一篇報導英日中對照： 嗯怎麼說呢？ 英文版內容最多最長，不過看起來比較像從投資者的角度來觀察 市場。日文版則是比較著重各業者間的想法。至於台灣版嘛.... 又都不是前兩個角度。 英文版有這句 "West Japan Railway, known as JR West, ..." 不過看來台灣的編譯沒搞懂這句話，所以就冒出西日本鐵道(JR West) 這樣的寫法了。 但同時我也不確定 Peach flies three times a day between Osaka and Kagoshima on Airbus SAS A320 planes that can carry 180 passengers, with a flight time of 1 hour and 10 minutes. In comparison, JR West runs 23 bullet trains a day to Kagoshima, each of which can carry 540 people. In Tokyo, the shortest gap between bullet-train departures is as little as three minutes. 到日文變成 ピーチは大阪・鹿児島間で180人乗りのエアバスＡ320型機を１ 日３本運航している。ＪＲ西日本の同区間の運行数は１日23本 。新幹線は540人を運べる。 是不是有哪裡怪怪的.... ======================================================== 連結們： 廉價航空威脅日本子彈列車市場 http://udn.com/NEWS/WORLD/WOR2/8054367.shtml 新幹線に値下げを決断させた格安航空、夏休み前の消費者に恩恵 http://www.bloomberg.co.jp/news/123-MPOC8H6JIJWE01.html Japan’s Bullet Trains Face Challenge From Low-Fare Airlines http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-07-09/japan-s-bullet-trains-face-challenge-from-low-fare-airlines.html 縮：http://ppt.cc/5VVp ======================================================== 廉價航空威脅日本子彈列車市場 【聯合晚報╱陳澄和】 2013.07.26 02:52 pm 三家新廉價航空公司激烈爭奪日本市場，不僅帶給商務與觀 光旅客莫大的福利，也迫使主宰日本國內長途旅遊市場半世紀的 子彈列車營運商必須降價防衛市場。 彭博資訊報導，西日本鐵道 (JR West)與九州鐵道公司自本 月起，開始將大阪與鹿兒島之間的三個月預約票價降低34%至1.4 萬日圓 (約台幣4165元)。 雖然降價後的列車票價仍然是樂桃航空最低機票3980日圓 ( 台幣1184元) 的三倍多，但已說明廉價航空已逐漸侵蝕鐵路公司 的市場。 樂桃、捷星 (JetStar)與亞洲 (AirAsia)航空去年起開始入 侵日航與全日空主宰的 190億美元日本國內航空市場，也與日本 的四家高速鐵道公司正面競爭。 西日本鐵道公司預測明年 3月結束的會計年度中，營收可能 成長0.9%，達到1.31兆日圓，但獲利卻會下滑4.5%，降到 575億 日圓。日本最大的子彈列車營運商JR東海公司，同樣也將面臨樂 桃航空的威脅，樂桃準備10月時增闢東京、大阪之間的航線。 以關西機場為根據地的樂桃航空，2012年 3月開始營運， 38.7%的股權由全日空控持，香港的遠東航空控股持有33.3%，日 本的Innovation Network擁有28%股份。 日本的子彈列車1964年最早行駛於東京到大阪的 553公里鐵 道上，如今已發展成總長2620公里的高速鐵路網。東京與大阪間 每天開出與抵達的列車多達 250班，同一航線的班機總數則為96 班。 【2013/07/26 聯合晚報】 ======================================================== 新幹線に値下げを決断させた格安航空､夏休み前の消費者に恩恵 ７月９日（ブルームバーグ） 格安航空各社による三つどもえの闘いが、日本のビジネスマ ンや旅行者に朗報をもたらした。新幹線を運行する各社が市場 シェアを守るため値下げを始めた。 ＪＲ西日本 とＪＲ九州 は今月から、大阪・鹿児島間の前売 り切符を最大で約34％割引の１万4000円で販売する。 それでも、格安航空のピーチ・アビエーションの最低価格 3980円に比べると３倍以上だが、鉄道各社が値引きに動いたと いうことは格安航空が橋頭堡（ほ）を築きつつあることを示唆 する。ピーチとジェットスター・ジャパン、エアアジア・ジャ パンは昨年運航を開始。日本航空と全日本空輸が牛耳る国内航 空市場に参入した。航空各社は新幹線を運行する鉄道４社とも 競合する。 世界航空市場を専門とするシンクタンク、アジア太平洋航空 センター（ＣＡＰＡ、シドニー）のエグゼクティブ・チェアマ ンのピーター・ハービソン氏は、「何かが始まっている」とし 、「行き届いていない路線は狙い撃ちになる。鉄道各社が賢明 ならば、それを阻止しようとするだろう」と話した。 新幹線運行会社で最大のＪＲ東海もピーチからの競争に直面 しそうだ。ピーチは10月に東京・大阪路線の就航を計画してい る。 関西国際空港を本拠とするピーチは2012年３月に運航を開始 。航空機数は昨年から３倍の９機に増え、国内７都市と海外３ 都市への路線を運航している。 「プレゼンスを確立」 ピーチの広報担当、末次佐也子氏は「競争相手として新幹線 は意識していない」と言う。一方、出張客を含めてあらゆる種 類の乗客がピーチを利用していると同氏は述べた。 豪マッコーリー・キャピタル・セキュリティーズのアナリス ト、ニコラス・カニンガム氏は、「格安航空会社は日本の旅客 輸送市場でプレゼンスを確立しつつある」と指摘。ＪＲ西日本 はほかにも特別割引を考えてもよいと思われると述べた。 ピーチは大阪・鹿児島間で180人乗りのエアバスＡ320型機を １日３本運航している。ＪＲ西日本の同区間の運行数は１日23 本。新幹線は540人を運べる。 ＪＲ西日本の広報担当、津田洋介氏は格安航空との競争につ いて「意識はしている」としながらも、「新幹線は数が多く、 運べる乗客数も全然違う」と語った。 原題：Japan’s Bullet Trains Face Challenge From Low-FareAirlines（抜粋） ======================================================== Japan’s Bullet Trains Face Challenge From Low-Fare Airlines By Chris Cooper Jul 10, 2013 12:00 AM GMT+0800 The battle between three new budget airlines in Japan is benefiting businessmen as well as tourists, as operators of the bullet trains that have dominated long-distance travel since 1964 cut prices to defend market share. West Japan Railway Co. (9021) and Kyushu Railway Co. started reducing advance ticket prices this month by as much as 34 percent to 14,000 yen ($140) between the central city of Osaka and the southern city of Kagoshima over the next three months. While that’s still more than three times the lowest fare of 3,980 yen offered by Peach Aviation Ltd., the cuts suggest budget carriers are gaining ground. Peach, Jetstar Japan Co. and AirAsia Japan Co. began flying last year in a $19 billion domestic aviation market dominated by Japan Airlines Co. (9201) and All Nippon Airways Co. that competes against the nation’s four high-speed rail operators. “It’s the beginning of something,” said Peter Harbison, executive chairman at the Sydney-based CAPA Centre for Aviation. “You want to be picking off those other city pairs that aren’t served well. If the bullet-train operators are smart, they’ll try to head it off more.” West Japan Railway, known as JR West, predicts profit will drop 4.5 percent to 57.5 billion yen in the year ending March, even as it forecast sales will rise 0.9 percent to 1.31 trillion yen. Central Japan Railway Co. (9022), the biggest bullet-train company, may also face competition from Peach, which plans to add flights in October between Tokyo and Osaka. 1 Percent Based at Osaka’s Kansai airport, Peach started operations in March 2012. The closely held carrier is 38.7 percent owned by All Nippon, while Hong Kong-based Far Eastern Aviation Holdings Ltd. holds 33.3 percent and the Innovation Network Corp. of Japan has 28 percent. The airline said it has tripled its fleet to nine planes since last year and had carried 2 million passengers as of May to its seven Japanese and three overseas destinations. That’s still less than 1 percent of the 307 million trips on high-speed trains in the year ended March 2012. In comparison, all domestic flights carried 79 million passengers in the period. “We’re not targeting bullet-train passengers,” said Sayako Suetsugu, a spokeswoman for Peach. “We have a whole range of people who fly with us.” That includes “some business travelers,” she said, declining to say how many. Establishing Presence Peach filled 78 percent of plane seats between the start of service in March 2012 and the end of March this year, it said. That rose to 91.3 percent during the nation’s Golden Week holidays in late April and early May, Peach said. Peach flies three times a day between Osaka and Kagoshima on Airbus SAS A320 planes that can carry 180 passengers, with a flight time of 1 hour and 10 minutes. In comparison, JR West runs 23 bullet trains a day to Kagoshima, each of which can carry 540 people. In Tokyo, the shortest gap between bullet-train departures is as little as three minutes. “Low-cost carriers are starting to establish a presence in the Japanese travel markets,” said Nicholas Cunningham, a Tokyo-based transport analyst at Macquarie Group Ltd. “JR West could, in our view, afford to consider further such offerings.” JR Central isn’t offering special discounts to compete against low-cost carriers as its customers are mainly business travelers, not the tourists who fly budget carriers, said Teruyoshi Nagashima, a spokesman at the Nagoya-based company. Rail Network Jetstar Japan is the only one of the three budget carriers started last year that offers flights between Tokyo and Osaka, the route JR Central’s trains run. None of the three carriers have flights between cities on the bullet-train network of the second-largest operator, East Japan Railway Co. (9020) Japan’s bullet trains have grown from the first 553 kilometer (344 mile) line that connected Tokyo and Osaka in 1964 to a 2,620-kilometer network. They have 250 arrivals and departures between Tokyo and Osaka a day, compared with 96 for airlines on that route, according to JR Central. Japan was first in the world to develop high-speed rail, defined as having trains that run at least 200 kilometers per hour. Top speed has since been raised to 320 kph, intensifying the battle with planes. The competition for passengers is becoming more domestic after All Nippon said last month it’s buying out Malaysia’s AirAsia Bhd. (AIRA) in their budget carrier venture. “We’re aware of the competition,” said Yosuke Tsuda, a Tokyo-based spokesman for JR West. “Still, the frequency of trains we run and the number of people we can carry is very different.” The railroad company has already won passengers from airlines since it started direct service between Osaka and Kagoshima in March 2011 in cooperation with Kyushu Railway. JR West more than doubled its share of travelers who fly or take the train between the Kansai area, which includes Osaka, and Kagoshima to 35 percent in the year ended March 2012, from 13 percent a year earlier, according to the company’s latest figures. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.64.140.121
