Japan’s maglev is a train to nowhere that continues to wow crowds with record speeds and a smooth, quiet ride at 500 kph. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/28/tech/maglev-ride/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #shinkansen #jr #rail #jrcentral #aichi #shizuoka #tokyo #maglev #bullettrains

There's a similar one in Shanghai, China. It doesn't go to nowhere exactly, one end is at Pudong Airport, the other is about halfway to People's Square in the city centre.

It's optional to ride, as you can stay on the traditional rail-based metro train all the way to the airport. But I rode it a couple of times for shits and gigs, and it was pretty cool
