- Shorter braking separations, permitting trains to be flagged nearer together
- The capacity to climb or plunge more extreme inclines (~gradient 13%) than would be practical with traditional rail tracks.
- Calm ride in outdoors (for occupants and those outside the train)
Disadvantages
- Greater energy consumption
- Not very economic to build, maintain and install
- Greater quantity if additional heat is generated
Hindrances
- Higher vitality utilization than steel-on-steel
- A bigger amount of abundance warmth is produced
- Costly to fabricate, introduce and keep up.
