Magnetic levitation gives extremely low friction, hence, less energy is required to accelerate the train.

Are Transrapid Maglevs Electric Multiple Units?
Transrapid Maglevs Electric is one unit. This is the fastest rail vehicle in the world.
Why must the maglev train be made?
It doesn't ... maglevs are a political boondoggle.
What happens when bird comes in opposite direction of a maglev trains?
Maglevs don't effect birds except by hitting them.
And disadvantages of Maglev trains compared to boring old normal trains?
Maglevs are extremely expensive to build and they must plan routes carefully in order to work successfully. Maglevs cannot curve easily, so any obstruction in the way (buildings, mountains, etc.) must either be demolished or tunneled through. The maglevs are extremely dangerous when running, so each track and car must be built correctly and perfectly. Conductors and operators must be trained for years before being able to fully operate a maglev.
How do Transrapid Maglevs Slow and Stop?
Transrapid Maglevs slow down and stop using a combination of electromagnetic brakes and eddy-current brakes. Electromagnetic brakes work by applying a magnetic field to the track, which induces a current in the moving magnets of the train, creating a force that opposes the motion. Eddy-current brakes work by creating a magnetic field that interacts with the conducting track, generating eddy currents which create an opposite magnetic field that slows down the train. These braking systems work together to gradually slow down and bring the Transrapid Maglev to a stop.
How are maglev trains better than average trains?
well maglevs are totally different from conventional. here are a few things that make them different: Magnetic Levitation Train:-faster-makes less sound-floats on the track-uses superconducting magnets-no engine-doesn't use fossil fuels-much more costly-relatively new compared to conventionals-used to travel long distances-transports peopleConventional:-uses wheels and creates friction that causes sound-uses fossil fuels-does not cost as much-slower-used in more places-used to travel long or short distances-transports passengers and cargothose are just a few things that makes maglevs diffferent than conventional trains.Maglevs are powered by magnets, where as a regular train uses a motor and fuel/electricity.
If someone wanted to ride on a maglev train what city could they go to?
The Chinese city of Shanghai is reported to have a Maglev train in commercial use. The Japanese and Germans are working on Maglevs so are the USA.
How does a maglev run?
A Maglev (magnetic Levitation) runs in a new technology. Maglev work by magnets. There are large rotating magnets built onto the sides of the track and train. This causes the Maglevs to levitate. This is possible by electromagnetic suspension.
