I would think that the reason for the length of time on the trip is more related to the need to STOP the maglev train. Accelleration should be a relatively smooth and quick process, but you can't stop one of those things on a dime ... However, I am having a good chuckly imagining all the passengers squished up against the front of the car following a sudden stop. *ick*
