Maglev trains

 Live curious

The only fast and convenient travel is via plane;   bus, trains are incapable of matching travel by air.

In the Nat Geo amazing I just saw, the maglev (magnetic levitation trains) without engine are capable of speeds well over 500 kmh.  The engineering and physics are amazing:   the train levitate on magnetic track, and the repulsion, and the coils along the track is the engine.

Maglev trains in Japan run at 580 kmh
