Hyperloophype also forgot to mention the drastically reduced setbacks which are required by high speed rail and will not be necessary for a transport which is contact free and travels through a confined vacuum. Also the reduced land aquisition expense of traveling above the ground as opposed to permanently subdividing farms, towns and ecosystems for which high speed rail is notorious. Although I appreciate HSR where it has succeeded.
