Japan has the Shinkansen that gets you between the two major cities at 300kmph in slightly less than two hours. Nonetheless, they’re still trying to build a maglev that will do the same thing at 500kmph in 1.1 hours. I guess if you already have the convenience of working on the train, you want to do less of it.

I kind of forgot what my point was.

A one way ticket for Tokyo to Osaka (2.5 hrs, 515km) costs around $160 USD. Not that cheap, but you can turn up a few mins before the train, and if you miss it there's another one 10 minutes later.
