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: [JP] Massive earthquake could damage JR Maglev line
I think they are worried about nothing as tunnels are safer than viaducts and Japan has the best saftey record in the world in stopping the train and it cannot fall off a viaduct anyway.

Re: The 2022 Maglev Online Conference, Oct. 18 & 19, 2022
SC maglev is the future of train transport but it must have an overnight container train to reduce the daytime fare below planes but to go 700 km/h and prevent the surface problems it also must be done in a single 11 psi tunnel between big cities. My suggestion for the freight sidings is to make the...

Re: [JP] Government urged to complete Maglev construction as soon as possible
While they are doing the tunnel it may be a good opportunity to develop an overnight container train as they would never sell it to any big democrasy without it being economically viable.

Re: Afrail Express is the Future Wakanda's Trains of Africa
While I do think Africa has tremendous future potential, unless the SC maglev can take an overnight container train which is faster and cheaper in a single tinnel between big cities I cannot see it as being economically viable for just passengers.

At 120 km/h it is too slow to run overnight 1,000 km so it cannot subsidise daytime fares and remove planes.
Be better if China, Japan and America developed the Sydney/Melbourne overnight container maglev to international standard.
