Correct me if you have a better source, but the information I can find
suggests that the power for a maglev train is supplied to electromagnets
in the track.
<https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/engines-equipment/maglev-train.htm>
Which means **** all power is supplied to the train.
I have a memory of seeing one in the past where the train had a pair of
contacts onto overhead wires, though I can't find it. But again, no
power through induction.

Trolley buses did.

Canadians, and Canadian food, do seem kinda plain. But then, Canada
doesn't start many wars.

Places full of sane people don't seem to do much radical electronics
either.
