Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance.
Transport System Bögl (TSB) is a maglev system for driverless trains developed by the German construction company Max Bögl since 2010. Its primary intended use is for short to medium distances (up to 30 kilometres (19 mi)) and speeds up to 150 kilometres per hour (93 mph) for uses such as airport shuttles.
The price tag is $300,000. "We have the regular line and priority line. You can pretty much be sure that most people on the priority line have enough cash and want to get the first account," said ...
