the maglev in the pic is Shanghai. Runs from the city to the airport at Pudong. It is finally seeing some use, but it mostly is a very expensive bragging right. 8 minutes from the station to airport. But the station isn't that convenient...there is a subway station but most travelers don't want to haul their bags on the subway. A lot easier (and cheaper) to take a bus from the airport to town. But it sure is cool...and if you're willing to heft your bags around (like I am), it is a damn fast trip.
