I for one wouldn't travel on it. Notwithstanding the high cost of tickets
required to sustain a profitable service, I would be paranoid about the
Electro Magnetic Radiation generated by the above. It would probably be
safer to live under a 66,000V power line than work at a Maglev station or as
a conductor on a Maglev train.
