Matina, Davao City- An inventor based in this city proposes a cutting edge technology solution to end the mass transport woes: amagnetic levitation or maglev train system.

Maglev technology is an efficient mass transport system that uses magnetic levitation to move vehicles without touching the ground. It travels along a guideway similar to the Department of Science and Technology’s Automated Guideway Transit in UP-Diliman and in Bicutan, Taguig City. Moreover, maglev technology can only be seen in some progressive countries such as Germany, China, and Japan among others.
