Maglev for city mechanism

As always all thoughts just thoughts...

There are several magnet levitation technologies: 

EDS Electrodynamic Suspension - repelling force of magnets located on the side of the train. Japan. Super-cooled, superconducting electromagnets. Levitate 10cm. Roll on rubber tires until 100 kph.

EMS electromagnetic suspension, Germany - Transrapid, (and Shanghai, with some extent swissMetro as well), Controlled attraction to the T shape base lift the train, side magnets central the path. levitation 1cm, Train levitated even when it's not moving.

Inductrack - a passive, fail-safe electrodynamic magnetic levitation system, using only un-powered loops of wire in the track and permanent magnets on the vehicle arranged in Halbach arrays

And SkyTran - some mix of Inductrack and EMS. They don't enplane, but I guess the boggy float over copper coils which could be active and passive. They claim to have no mechanical switch, low investment cost and low electricity consumption.

Although I agree SkyTran has all the chances to succeed, I have some doubts about their switch and horizontal stability (with strong side wind the cabin could swing like pendulum destroying the magnets).
The EMS, EDS are too expensive, too balky, too rigid with R of the curve is too big, and too much of investments - good only for long distance travel (like SwissMetro).

My own hypotheses is to have pixels like array of copper coils lying inside of the rail.

Some of them could work as passive Inductrack like some active for propulsion and some for stabilization.  It is not necessary to be one row one function, depending on the size of the coil they could have chess like or other pattern (could be more than 3 rows as well).
The coils itself could be complex with two and more coils inside another - it significantly increase the power and reduce the amount of copper. Here are example of such matrioshka (Russian dolls).

The second track needed to create second support, it should be wide enough to prevent side cabin lean or to say ahead - as wide a car wheels.
