Toronto transit projects

Two reasons why not come to mind:

* New(ish) technology lack of information on safety
* Unknown impact on the animals (noise, electromagnetic fields)

Presumably the noise and EM radiation impacts on zoo animals wouldn't be so much different from their impact on human animals.

Here is one study on maglev noise, although I would expect that the zoo maglev would run substantially slower (and thus quieter) than the Shanghai maglev:

In terms of general safety, I think maglev is sufficiently proven by now that the standard Transport Canada regulations should be sufficient.
