I recently learned that there is only 66 kilometers of maglev tracks in use. Everyone is up in arms about maglev maglev, when we have classic bullet trains going well fast enough IMO.

I guess there is a reason why the french don't run their trains over some 360km/h even if they can. The cost is probably not worth shaving off 10 minutes of your 2h journey.
