Yes I wanted to comment the same. And Germany is, as far as I know no longer looking into this anymore.
Edit: I mean for the usage in Germany. It’s sadly a very political topic because lots of money went into this project.
- FabHK 5y agoYes, it is a pity. On the other hand, Germany is only around 1000 km north to south, and most distances can be done in a few hours with conventional high speed trains. And it doesn't look like there'll be export opportunities for a Transrapid anytime soon to, say, the US, or China...
- bluGill 5y agoIf you limit yourself to Germany you are correct. However the EU is a thing, and could be made a lot better if the countries started acting together more. Maglev from Italy to Finland with stops in Germany for example.

- publicola1990 5y agoAren't they building a tunnel through it, for conventional rail of course.
- nixass 5y agoAlps are full of tunnels, some being high speed for that matter
- bluGill 5y agoThe entire world is full of difficult terrine. Either you quit making excuses and learn to deal with it, or you make excuses and make flying easier. I visit Europe about once every 20 years, so I'm not really in position to say what Europe should do.
