    kaya nga ti-nerm na "bullet train" is bec. of magnetic levitation almost the same speed as bullet.

    alias nga lang yan bullet train to suggest to the laity that it is FASST, the real term is maglev.

    Bullet trains use special tracks which are meant for high speed RAIL travel. Generally these rail tracks are smoother and straighter. On curved sections, the tracks are also tilted to negate centrifugal forces. These trains still run on wheels. These trains typically reach and exceed speeds of 200 kph.

    Maglevs are vehicles designed on run on a specialized track based on magnetic attraction and repulsion for both levitation and propulsion. In asia, the only commercially operating maglev train is located at Shanghai, China operating between the airport and the city, cutting travel time by more than 50%.
