The most likely technical motivation for a community to choose a maglev train operation is:

They seek a rail line not affected by friction.

Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains operate without physical contact between the train and the track, which effectively eliminates friction. This technology allows for higher speeds and smoother travel compared to conventional trains.
