A suspension maglev rail transit system includes an orbital system, a suspension system, a control system and a car system, wherein the control system comprises a drive system, a guidance system and asuspension control system, wherein the track system is suspended in the air through upright posts, the car system is suspended vertically below the track system through the suspension system, and thedrive system and the guidance system cooperate to drive the car system to operate in the track system. The invention utilizes the levitation force with the permanent magnet repulsion force as the main force and the electromagnetic regulation as the auxiliary force to suspend the car on the air track, and realizes the stable operation through the non-contact traction of the linear motor. The invention has the advantages of low energy consumption, high safety, no land occupation, low cost, strong climbing ability, small turning radius and wide adaptability.
