There is increased safety on use of maglev as it has been proposed to function during an earthquake since it levitates. Building engineers even want to leverage the technology to build homes more resilient to earthquake.

Is this even possible ? I am sure that the Maglev would make use of two superconducting magnests Luke you said and one would be lcaed on the ground while the other on the train. In the eventuality of an earthquake, there possibly would be a shift or change of orientation of the superconducting magnet placed on the ground which would make the moment of the train impossible ...well what do I know.? Just my opinion though.
