There are quite a few in Japan (the fastest going up to 581 km/h), there is also a test track at the Transrapid facility in Emsland Germany which designed and built a second system in China (Shanghai to Shanghai Airport).
I have also heard that a Transrapid system (UK Ultraspeed) has been planned, and is close to agreement by the British Government, that will link London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow (including several locations and airports in and around those cities).
There are also several systems planned for the U.S. and Japan.

Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
When were maglev trains first being used?
MagLev trains were first designed by a German man named Hermann Kemper. he was the first man to design and patent a MagLev train. The first MagLev train to be built and used was designed by Thyssen Henschel, another German, in the 1970's. The first passenger-carrying MagLev train was introduced in 1979 at the International Transportation Exposition in Hamburg, Germany. Thus began the MagLev train.
What is maglev?
"magnetic" "levitation" A cute way to make trains float - thus reducing rolling friction, but NOT air friction.
What is the force that lifts up and moves maglev trains?
It cannot. The magnets used for a maglev train must be engineered and built at very tight tolerances to allow a maglev train to function. Each magnet is specifically built for the maglev train, they cannot be "strengthened" versions of a magnet not made specifically for the train.
How many people can ride on maglev train?
A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
Abbreviation for magnetic levitation?
"Maglev" is.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
How does magnetism keep the cars suspended on a maglev train?
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
Can maglev train built underground?
Yes, maglev trains can be built underground. In fact, the majority of the Chuo Shinkansen maglev line being built in Japan will be underground.
Who invented MAGLEV?
Earnshaw from Cambridge University , he is the first man who posted the principle of maglev. But Hermann Kemper, a German engineer, is the first man who is proposed as the farther of maglev.
What type of train uses magnets?
The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.
Will maglev trains come to India WHEN?
maglev trains will appear very soon in NCR regions
How does the property of a maglev train helps to decrese friction?
No two solids ever touch in a maglev.
How can maglev trains help your country?
Maglev trains do not use gas, so they are good for the environment.
How fast does the Maglev go in shanghai?
These Maglev (Magnetic Levitation) trains goes up to 431kph/267.8mph
