Ultra High Speed Train

Another key element of the proposed city is an ultra high speed metro that will connect it to five largest CEE capitals. In a way, five Central-Eastern European cities will turn into boroughs of a bigger conglomerate united by the Megacity's arcology.

In the same way as Manhattan unites Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island into a bigger New York City, the proposed Megacity will unite Kiev, Warsaw, Bucharest, Minsk and Budapest into a 10-million urban agglomeration competitive with New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai, Sao Paolo and other world megalopolises.

To achieve this a special ultra high speed transport system will need to be implemented. This system will follow ideas proposed in the project called Swissmetro.



Swissmetro is a futuristic Swiss national transportation project, based on high-speed maglev trains traveling in low-pressure tunnels at about 500 km/h.(Wikipedia) This project was purposed to link scattered Swiss cities into a better connected urbanized area, when you can well live in Geneva coming every day to work in Zurich. Likewise, this technology is the best tool to implement the proposed Megacity into reality by connecting it to largest surrounding capitals.
