Shanghai Maglev, Metro & the World's Fastest Urban Transport

The Shanghai Maglev (上海磁浮示范运营线 — the magnetic levitation train line connecting Pudong International Airport to Longyang Road metro station in Pudong, operated since 2004 — the world's first commercially operated high-speed maglev train, reaching a maximum operating speed of 431 km/h (the highest regular commercial operating speed of any ground transportation vehicle in the world)): the 30 km journey from Pudong Airport to Longyang Road takes 7 minutes and 20 seconds, passing through the flat Yangtze delta landscape at a speed at which the details of the landscape become a blur.
