| There is no faster applicable ground transportation system
than the Transrapid. Nevertheless, the new railroad system provides a high
degree of safety and comfort for its passengers. The environmentally-friendly,
non-contact technology of the Transrapid also makes it very economical because
it is free from wear and tear and consumes a relatively small amount of
energy. Therefore, operating expenses are lower than those of traditional
railroad systems, while the required investment is roughly the same. So,
although the pleasure of travelling in the Transrapid is for a short time,
it is not overly expensive. |
