I'm not seeing anything on this regarding vertical service, but yes definitely if it were doable it appears that posted mag-lev speeds would drastically reduce the 20km lift/descent time by more than half.

Of course.. that top speed of mag-lev is pretty high, you wouldn't want brake failure causing you to, well, literally fly into orbit. You might rival this guy for world freefall record.
