the train that ate ICE and Eurostar (but not TGV)....watch this complete video presentation of Shanghai trasrapid super speed magnetic levitation train as it defines to you the meaning of haste....bringing the passengers from long-yang road downtown to pu-dong international in 7 minutes....swooooosh!
FYI... the last time i was there...one way ticket costs 50 yuan or 80 yuan for executive class (the yellow leather seat as seen on the video)

I took this thing last week. It is the BOMB! You are at the airport in 7 minutes compared to about 40 for a taxi. 40 RMB instead of 130. It is clean, fun and no more difficult than any airport's terminal trains. Makes London's Heathrow and Gatwick express trains at 16 Pounds look silly. Better than ANYTHING we have in US. I know nothing about the cost to build it or run it, but it sure is nice to use.

I've heard about the MAGLEV to Pudong for quite a while but this video now has me finally captivated over this train! Now I really have to try it out sometime in the new future!

I've been to Shanghai and the Maglev train was AWESOME! kind of expensive, but totally worth it!

Also, maglev travelling outside of downtown can help to ease many problems, no matter like sound pollution, you can imagine what it sounds like when you're standing along the track when a maglev tears past you at the speed of 450km/h, or the sinking of building bases due to the vibration caused by the fast moving train.

Awesome video! Thanks for uploading it! My parents went on the Shanghai Maglev two years ago and told me about the 431 km/h. I always wanted to know what the outside looks like when you are traveling at this speed. Hopefully I will ride the Maglev next time I head to China.

In chicago it will take around 50-70mins from downtown to Ohare Airport (30-35 miles) by car. By the blue line ancient train system, it will take 1hr-2hr to get to the airport. Not to mention air pollution and noises from track and lack of amenities.

Actually, what i'm thinking is that maglev is just well for short distance coverage. As the track for maglev trains is really expensive to build and maintain, especially when they build further and further, the cost is not the way what we used to thinking...

@wowiecruz 16 жыл бұрын

even though im a maglev fanatic, i will have to agree with you on that, unless they come up with a solution on how to lessen the cost of building the guide way, it might work.

@1978Vtold 12 жыл бұрын

@OROCHI701 It is a German invention and their technology. However track for this one was built by Chinese contractor under German supervision (that was a part of the contract). Rest of the system was built in Germany and transporter to China.

@carGT111 That Trasrapid train have no problem to go faster. But for a commericial train, you don't want it to accelerate too fast or the passengers will not feel comfort. You can't not compare it with a TEST train where it is either unmanned or has some healthy adults on board. For young kids or elders, you'd never know what could happen to them with acceleration too high.

@halneufmille 14 жыл бұрын

I also think the future is mass transportation and I'm hopeful that they can make magnet cheaper in the future. I was just struck by this false claim, although that's usually what you might expect from a promotional video. But then again, maybe if you think about the prestige that it brought to Shanghai to build the first commercial maglev train in the world, I think it is worth the cost.

when i was in China, i used to live near the station. But i have to say, having such a system for transportation is actually really expensive, unless your government have that kind of money to spend on such projects its not worth having. The cost effectiveness ratio makes the train not worth it at all. I think the government in Shanghai implemented this system in an attempt to seem more modernised in the field of transportation.

well, it requires little maintanence compared to road automobile travel or older train models which have friction. Infact they are going to be a big part of the future. The problem in my mind is that we have to pay to travel in the frist place. I think eventually over time human culture will change money will be phased out and people will just do things because to make the world a better place. Question shoudln't be: "how much will it cost?" It should be: "Do we have the resources?"
