In Australia we often have methane bubbles in our creeks but it is no big problem especially if the tunnel is well ventilated.

If you want to replace planes and trucks over 1,000 kilometers you only have a couple passing stations and use the proven 600 km/h Japanese SC maglev.
If you want to use the slower Chinese maglev with many stations then that would be the cheapest.
It all depends on what you need.

Re: [DE] Max Boegl TSB Maglev vacant positions
Why try to reinvent the wheel when Japan has already proven a 600 km/h SC maglev and if is used in overnight container trains Sydney/Melbourne in an 11 psi single tunnel it will go 700 km/h and reduce the daytime fare below planes while earning $2,000,000 per night @$2,000 per container.
