Zhouran's National Rapid Maglev Railway Network lacks any railway gauge just like with any other maglev.

Nolo gap wrote:30"(760mm) is the most common, for long distances, but we use lighter gauges to serve smaller traffic loads, and to provide more local service.
two footers (24"/600mm) are quite common, down to 18" (foot and a half).
even 7.5, hobbyist "hernia" gauge provides public transit service in some very small villages with mild climates.
in nolo gap we like thing just as small as they can be and still provide a useful function.
we also have very small form factor monorails of varying formats.

You do realize that just running longer and/or more frequent trains in standard gauge is easier, right? For reference, the IRL East Rail Line found in Hong Kong can transport some 100,000 per direction per hour with standard gauge, and one of those trains can carry at least 2,000 (even though it will be by no means pleasant then

Košman trains are also used to transport cargo as well. The sheer size and drive of Košman trains makes them extremely effective at carrying goods, including much of the heavy industrial products and machines the Koškr produce significent quantities of. The Koškr also prioritise efficienct use of resources. The massive capacity reduces the amount of trips that need to be performed, which saves fuel. Košman trains also often carry passengers and freight at the same time.

Idk man most countries that specialise in heavy manufacturing seem to do fine with either standard, Russian or Indian gauge, none of which are anywhere near 2 meters in gauge
