The group had a chance to take a round trip ride on Shanghai’s Meg Lev. Running from Shanghai’s Pudong district to the Shanghai International Airport, the mag lev is the first commercial high speed magnetically elevated train in the world. This high speed train reaches 268 mph, taking you from Pudong to the Shanghai International Airport in a matter of minutes, seven to be exact. Plans are to extend this track to the opposite side of the city to help link the maglev with other public transportation lines such as light rail, subway, and bus lines. The maglev train was an exhilarating ride, reminiscent more of an airplane then a train.
