"Costing a Buck as a Streetcar" - When does the Maglev Train Make its Debut in Nuremberg?
What's the estimated launch date?
The proposal to connect the new university campus, trade fair center, and Klinikum Süd via a magnetic levitation train is currently under consideration. The ministry is considering a maglev train as an option.
The appeal: "A suspended maglev line offers space-saving and flexible routing opportunities, which is crucial in heavily trafficked areas like trade fair entrances."
The intricate question: who will shoulder the costs and manage the magnetic levitation train?
VAG, the operator of Nuremberg's subway and streetcar systems, could step up to the plate. However, they seem taken aback by the announcement. There are no concrete plans so far.
Max Bögl estimates the construction costs for the magnetic levitation train to be comparable with other transportation projects, but further details will be available once the initial planning stages are complete.
The truth: Nuremberg's Lord Mayor Marcus König (43, CSU) initiated the plans. In the summer, he visited the manufacturing company Max Bögl in Neumarkt and was given a demonstration of the maglev train.
He then contacted Söder. Söder paid a visit to Bögl himself on November 23, remaining mum about his intentions at the time. He announced them in his government statement on Tuesday.
König expressed enthusiasm. "A trial track for a magnetic levitation train connecting the university, exhibition center, and South Hospital in Nuremberg could significantly enhance our transportation system."
Nuremberg City Council may discuss the maglev train project in the spring, according to city hall. However, the decision of whether to inform the transportation committee or the plenary assembly is yet to be made.

- Söder, the Prime Minister of Bavaria (CSU), recently visited Munich Airport to collaborate with officials on the potential effects of COVID-19 on the travel industry and the economy.
- The Munich regional news also revealed proposals for a maglev train in Munich, similar to the TSB magnetic levitation train in Sengenthal, which gained Söder's interest during his trip to Nuremberg, as reported in the Nuremberg regional news.
