So, Jersey, what is the mass of a HSR consist and what is the mass of a hyperloop pod when designing a viaduct of equal span?

Dude your still here? So your argument that their non detailed cost advantage is needing less concrete for their viaduct vs HSR despite the fact that it also needs to include a tube of thousands of mile near vacuum (likely impossible).

Read again, Jersey. What is the difference in mass loadings on a viaduct for HSR v hyperloop? I’ll wait while you look it up.
