High Speed MAGLEV train shock wave 430 KPH

FAST FORWARD 3:02 for Shanghai High speed train passing on coming train with shock wave... the other train is over 300 feet (100m) long yet passes in the blink of an eye. the Maglev high-speed train (based on German Transrapid technology) can accelerates to a speed of 430 km/h. The 30-km line (constructed between 2001 and 2004) runs between the Shanghai Lujiazui financial district and Pudong Shanghai International Airport whereby a ride takes about 8 minutes. The Transrapid in Shanghai has a design speed of over 500 km/h (310 mph) and a regular service speed of 430 km/h (267 mph).

Is the US ever gonna have anything like this connecting most big cities?

No. The "Public Transit" for my city consists of a bus system that barely runs, and uses buses that are 25 years old, if you could even call it a 'public transit' system anymore.

@kallube1 Does everything need a profit?

@Mohamed636 Well, so far none have crashed, unlike other forms of transportation. And since it runs on a separate track that doesnt cross any roads or other tracks its as safe as it can get.

[Buuub08]

@edgroove7 Not really. Its pretty smooth and quiet since its not actually touching anything but air. You notice the pass though, since, well, the total speed of the pass is equivalent to a commercial airliner, kinda gets your attention lol.

@SarraPiyopiyo However the US does have an exceptional interstate highway system that links all major cities by car
