      Difference is that there are multiple working Maglevs around the world right now (which you can actually ride)

        Yes. Six of them. Only one of which exceeds 150km/h in speed and none of which exceeds 30km in length. So impressive and totally better than high speed rail that routinely exceeds 250km/h over distances measured in hundreds to thousands of km.
