Magnetic levitation will be one of the cornerstones of global transportation in the near future: just take a look at concepts like these to easily realize this.
It is a system that eliminates friction between the parts, reaches speeds unthinkable for current systems and can shorten distances in a decisive way, allowing a new, healthy decentralization of work and social activities and favoring demographic redistribution and decongestion of megacities. All at more than 500 kilometers per hour :)
In Vanja Valencak's designs the new Maglev is equipped with photovoltaic roofs: they will allow the system to optimize energy management and (once the costs are settled, which today are huge) it will contain prices for passengers. Not us, perhaps not our children, but our grandchildren could wake up in Rome at 7:00 in the morning and be in the office in Milan for 8:30.
It will be another life.
