Japan is building a maglev between Tokyo and Osaka. The Nagoya stretch will be done this decade.
The Shanghai maglev is kind of a pink elephant, it doesn’t even go to downtown Shanghai. I took it once for the novelty l, but a cab is much better time wise and about the same price.
I was really looking forward to taking it since I read about maglev in Popular Mechanics as a kid, but my flight was 6am and the train didn't start running til 6:30! cab ride it is...
