MAGLEV NOW!!!!

[untrained skeptic]

Well, Maglev trains are more environmentally friendly and energy efficient that transporting people by conventional train or bus, and faster too.

They are just obscenely expensive to build.

However, construction costs may drop as the technology gets developed further, but I still think that you're going to have to optimistically wait a decade or more before they come close to being practical even in a limited role.

With the population growth Texas has been seeing, passenger rail systems might be practical by then as well.
