The fully elevated Shanghai Maglev was built at a cost of US$1.33 billion over a length of 30.5 kilometres (19.0 mi) including trains and stations. Thus the cost per km for dual track was US$43.6 million, including trains and stations. This was the first commercial use of the technology.
The maglev line would run along Highway PR-52 connecting both cities. According to American Maglev Technology (AMT), who is the company in charge of the construction of this train, the cost of this project is approximately US$380 million. [25] [26] [27]

Transrapid 09 at the Emsland test facility in Lower Saxony, Germany A full trip on the Shanghai Transrapid maglev train Example of low-speed urban maglev system, Linimo. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance.
Improved L0 Series maglev train in August 2020. On 2 December 2003, MLX01, a three-car train set a world record speed of 581 km/h (361 mph) in a manned run. On 16 November 2004, it also set a world record for two trains passing each other at a combined speed of 1,026 km/h (638 mph).

The Tunisian government and Tunisian Railways are planning high-speed rail in three parts; the first is a 180-kilometre (110 mi) line from Ras Jedir on the Libyan border to Gabès, built to 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph) for passenger trains and 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) for freight at an estimated cost of TND 2.6 billion ($917 million).
The line uses automatic train control (ATC) and automatic train operation (ATO). [1] Construction of the track cost ¥60 billion (US$575 million) while the Linimo trains themselves, built by Nippon Sharyo, cost ¥40.5 billion (US$380 million). [3] The construction cost came to roughly $65 million per km without rolling stock.
