The magnetic levitation form of transit allows for traveling at much higher speeds than traditional rail. According to the report, the SCMAGLEV would reach over 300 mph.
In Japan, longer, high-speed maglev trains have been under construction for more than a decade, with work on the planned Chūō Shinkansen train connecting Tokyo and Nagoya by 2027, and Osaka by 2045. While there are other maglev trains elsewhere in the world, they are nowhere near as long as the planned Japanese lines.
