During the NASA AMES open house this Sat (10/18) I came across Skytran http://www.skytran.us/ which is a maglev 2-person per shuttle personal rapid transport (PRT).
Per the person there they seem to have some plans to deploy in Israel in next 1-1.5 year.
Washington to Baltimore using something like this could make a lot more sense, and is much cheaper.
What is interesting is that almost no one seems to have heard of them when they seem to have some real technology. Elon's hyperloop theoritical proposal got more publicity.
