maglev
Frictionless rail transit
Maglev is short for magnetic levitation, a technology that uses powerful magnets to lift and propel vehicles—typically trains—above a track without physical contact.
The absence of friction allows for very high speeds and a smooth ride: The maglev train connects the airport to the city center in eight minutes.
