The invention provides, in some aspects, a magnetic levitation transport system with a guideway having rails with propulsion windings extending therealong and defining first and second diverging paths. A vehicle disposed on the guideway has T-shaped propulsion pods extending toward to the guideway. Arms of the propulsion pods extend laterally from stems and include permanent magnets and control coils. These are disposed adjacent respective rails/windings. The propulsion pods and rails propel, switch, suspend, and guide a vehicle on the guideway.
