A Canadian company has unveiled plans for a fully electric train-style vehicle which could travel at 1,000 kilometers per hour and, it claims, would cost less than a plane ticket to travel on.
The Chuo Shinkansen, the maglev current being built between Nagoya and Tokyo, is capable of 505 km/h and can only run 6 trains per hour. I've heard that's mostly because of the switches, but how do these guys think they can achieve 2 minute headways at this speed?
lmao I missed the "1000kph" in the headline because the "first phase" they propose will only be that 300km shot, but at 45 minutes that's max 400 kilometers per hour
