It will be just like a bus or subway except you'll be getting mugged at higher speeds

You do realize they’ve moved well past the theorhetorical and have actual, working Hyperloops up that they are testing now, right?

Yep.

I'm not sure how well it will compete with high speed rail, but otherwise Philly to NYC might be a good choice.

HYPERLOOP IS HAPPENING, Y'ALL

Elon Musk is changing the feasibility study game!

He can get a fricking Hyperloop working and can put his personal sports car into orbit.....but he can't figure out the Tesla Model 3.

Out West makes the most sense.

Not sure the Northeast corridor is quite as good a place for it. If you have enough stops to accommodate everyone who lives there, you won't have time to get up to speed.

How many homeless will be panhandling in cleveland only to be panhandling all the way to chicago 30 minutes later.

It would be the first mode of transportation to really give domestic airlines competition. Because of the way the technology works, if you had enough hyperloop tubes around the country you could basically constantly have pods going and operational.

Yeah, and between Cleveland and Chicago, there's nothing but legions of paying customers.

Yeah, those same cats are behind solar roadways and numerous failed projects for creating drinking water out of thin air. If you can't even fathom the power required to pump down hundreds of miles of tubing to the very low vacuum levels required to make these fantasy projects feasible, then add the maintenance and the safety systems on top of that then you are exactly the type of gullible poorly STEM educated individual these projects attract the adoration of. Go look up videos on the catastrophic failures of vessles suject to vacuum conditions. Go look up the engineering used to protect astronauts from the vacuum of space. We can't pump oil in vastly simpler pipelines without accidents yet we are going to shoot masses people along hundreds of miles of vacuum tube in pressurized vessles at hundreds of mph...

That's the dumbest, most ignorant O&G cuck bitch post I've ever read on here.

You forgot to falsely claim that Musk's whole empire is government funded. You missed the trifecta.
