I think the Shanghai Maglev could have been a great welcome greeting for travelers. The ticket price should have been adjusted to a rate that semi fills it up and discounted for travelers with same day boarding pass. The main problem is terminates in no man's land. If it stopped in Pudong near Jin Mao Tower then went on over to People's Square it would have really made sense.
I don't buy the arguement that route would have been impossible.
