China's Mag-lev is one of the fastest trains in the world - travelling at over 400km/hour. But residents in the suburbs of Shanghai are battling a proposed rail extension through the city. It is a rare stand-off between China's middle-class and the government. Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng reports.

4.Economy: It will cost total 6 billion RMB for 30 km length. It will take over 80 RMB to get on. It's much expensive than other transtportation and less people will take. billion RMB.We can get this information from now exist Longyang Meglev line. This exist line income can't cover the cost and lost total 1 billion. This new line will bring lost again! So, we say no! Not for meglev, just say no for to close to residental areas!

3.Envirment: the radiation, noise, vibiration. The line will be craw up four times and craw down to earth three times. Because the line must cross the high way, Huangpu River. It will be ugerl in Shanghai. It will go along with several river, then will influence the river envirment.

The new Maglev line will be set up 40's near my window. It's too close to residental areas. There are about 20 residental areas which are influent by this new Maglev line. There are around 1.6 million pepeol near this line 500 metres. We dout the line as follow: 1. Safety: too close to high density residental areas, the meglev will go near y residental buidings with 200 Km/hour 2. Human healty: the radiation, noise, vibiration etc will influence pepole heath.

but considering the money that will spend in it, i'll have to say no...such a line from shanghai to nearby hangzhou takes billions of dollars, and just to shorten the trip from 1.5 hours to half an hour (i don't know exactly how long, just a guess, hongzhou's over 200km away) yet leave hundreads of millions of people live in poverty?

being a member of shanghai, i'm personally against this project, not for the environment or land reasons, but from economy point of view. compared to trains or vehicles, meglev's comparatively environmentally friendly (at least according to discovery channel). and as for land, there're ppl moving every few weeks in this city because of new projects (streets widening, subway stations, etc.), and most of the time people are happy about this, coz they usually get good compensate for better homes.

what a bunch of whining Bourgeois, the train goes at 430km/h, u barely see/hear it for 3 seconds, it's not like a NY Subway rail passing above u and causing a earthquake in ur entire house... There are far worse things happening around the world, QQ more ungrateful rich bastards

I actually think its a good idea because that way people won't have to use their cars as much to get into the main downtown area.
