It's long distance maglev project that's already under construction, using proven technology, and it aims to cut travel times in half relative to the existing high speed line.
I find this project far more exciting than the vague plans and ideas surrounding Hyperloop.
- fhood 9y agoHow well would it work on Mars?

- am1988 9y agoI would think better?
- acjohnson55 9y agoThat technology is only proven because they started working on it about 50 years ago. So, I'm not holding my breath for working Hyperloop installations, but supposing the Hyperloop proves to have fundamental advantages over mag lev (not sure if it does or not, just supposing), then it seems worth pursuing.
