Ever wish you could be transported across town at 250 kilometers per hour via magnetic transport tech? Get your butt over to Tel Aviv, Israel, then. According to the guys over at PanicaTech, Israel is getting ready to build the world's first ultra-modern transport system. From the article:
Company SkyTran, based at the National Research Center NASA Ames in California (USA), is going to create in Tel Aviv, the world’s first high-speed rail transportation system-Maglev. Each “composition” will be designed for two people. At the moment, together with engineers from SkyTran NASA engaged in manufacturing the necessary elements, structures and capsules, which will then be sent to Israel for further installation of the transport network.

Initially, before the end of 2015 it is planned to construct a circular branch length of only about 400 meters. To test. If all goes well, then Tel Aviv will become the first city in the world, which will be installed full futuristic public transport system Maglev.
[Ed. note: yes, but can you drink a coffee at that speed?]
