The RailJet would technically fall under 'public' electric transport, but I am including it here because I believe it would be a far more efficient and clean alternative to continental air travel.

Features of the RailJet:

  1. It's powered by electric motors for ultimate reliability and zero pollution.

  2. It's suspended by 2 metal wheels for ultimate simplicity.

  3. It cruises at 300 mph.

  4. Separate baggage car follows the passenger car for protection of life in case baggage explodes.

  5. It's earthquake proof - the main pillars can move a meter without damaging rail integrity.

  6. Simple and economical modular design - the rail can be  attached to pillars with ease.

  7. The rail can span very rough terrain.

  8. Special cable pillars can support a rail span of over 1000 meters.

  9. Active suspension makes the ride smooth and steady.

  10. Power can be fed by 3-phase high voltage, by DC current through superconductors, or by onboard supercapacitor recharged during station stops.
