Turns out the real hyperloop was the friends we made along the way.

      Either the Americans have very weird ideas about transportation or they’re completely controlled by auto companies. I don’t understand how they think that cars or this stupidloop is better than high speed rail. Traveling by train is far more relaxing, way less infuriating and leaves time for you to do something else meaningful. US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.

        I walk an extra half hour so I can take the train instead of the bus for my morning commute. It’s worth it.

      Musk HATES hates public transportation. Which is weird because he’s in a private jet when he travels anyways.

    @throws_lemy Hyperloop is a solution for a non existing problem. There are already fast landline based systems. You can go really fast on rails (see Japan) or you can use a maglev.

      I don’t think the problem to be solved was “how to go fast”. It was more like “how to create travel corridors with minimal impact to private property”
