This is pretty nifty: Shanghai will open commercial service on a maglev this summer.
The train will travel from Shanhai's financial district to the airport in 8 minutes. The same trip takes 45 minutes by car.
Now I wonder if this technology could be used in other cities where it takes forever to get to the airport. Not that I can think of any canidates. No, getting to the airport in New York is really easy.
