Population density has been rapidly shifting from rural areas to city centers. The increase of population in cities brings transportation problems with it. Conventional public transportation is not enough to solve these problems. One of the alternative transportation methods developed for this matter is maglev train transportation. Maglev train km-passenger transport rates reveal that this technology provides per capita environmental contribution. Maglev trains have various advantages over conventional trains. Since there is no contact with the guide track, there is no friction. It is less noisy and faster than other trains. In this study, the application for a maglev train line Ankara-Sivas in Turkey. That can be applied in the economic analysis was conducted for four different versions. According to the analysis, version 1, which has 2.1% more cost considering the number of wagons, but which has twice the number of wagons of the alternative version and has 4 stations with 0.5% more cost considering the number of stations, was found suitable.
