Reply to comment by ReturnedAndReported in 7 international companies have teamed with the EU to form the International Hyperloop Association, the industry's first trade body. by lughnasadh

if they stuck with the original plan for 'loops'(not hyperloop) like the ones they built in vegas

that being non vacuum, pods of ~12 people moving at a speed of 150 using linear induction motors, used over short distances from train stations to smaller stops. in tunnels built really quick and fairly cheap

that would have been useful, its basically a faster APM, which supplements public transport

hyperloops i doubt will ever be feasible though, that vacuum part is just a real issue
