New public transit line taps cheaper, quieter technology

Construction has started on a new public transportation line in Beijing that promises to be cheaper to build and run - and less noisy - than subways.

The city is building its first "maglev" line, short for magnetic levitation, a cutting-edge technology in rail transit. The line will have a top train speed of 80 km/h. It is expected to become operational before the end of next year.

Experts believe the maglev line will offer huge potential for public transport in megacities because of the cheaper cost and reduced noise.

The S1 line was proposed and planned in 2009, and some preparatory work began in early 2011, but it was suspended after residents expressed concerns over the environmental impact and electromagnetic radiation（辐射）.

The city government approved the project in October 2013 after experiments and tests showed the line posed no health or environmental risks.
