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%.

I'm here in Tokyo right now, although I still haven't ridden the shinkansen/bullet train, I think what I see on the tracks of the shinkansen are railroad tracks and not maglev tracks.

I hope that when they build the railway, they give some thought to the design of the train stations.
1) Aesthetically pleasing. Not like the ugly concrete box structures at EDSA. :down:
2) Located near a properly designed bus / jeepney terminal for hassle-free transfer from train to bus / jeepney / taxi and vice versa.
:please:
Not yet..... I'm still consolidating those quotations as different dealers gave different discount...
