Japan's Maglev Train Reaches 500 km/h

The Central Japan Railway Company held the first public ride of their new super-fast train in Yamanashi Prefecture.

One hundred lucky passengers experienced utmost a 500 km/h speed during the test run. I can't imagine how fast the train. 

If the levitating maglev train line runs between Tokyo and Nagoya, it would tied the two cities in only 40 minutes. According to the company, they have a plan to commence a commercial line between Tokyo and Nagoya in 2027.  

If it realizes the two cities' residents would easily commute each cities. And it also could be a new major sightseeing spot in Japan. I would like to be on board  the floating train. It might be an exciting experience.
