System



There is no faster 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, the pleasure of travelling in the Transrapid is not overly expensive.
