Traveling as fast as the speed of sound, the Hyperloop will be faster than today's conventional methods of transportation with speeds up to 760 MPH. Completely self sufficient, solar panels placed along the track produce excess amounts of the energy that is actually required to run the system.The climate controlled capsule travels inside of a reinforced 'tube' pathway, rendering the Hyperloop Transportation System weather independent and earthquake safe thanks to the use of pylons. The construction costs are much lower than any existing, and yet proposed railway projects. It utilizes existing infrastructure thanks to the use of these pylons and has reduced land acquisition costs as well.These reduced costs translate directly into cheaper ticket prices, therefore changing the way we travel and ultimately the way that we all get to live and enjoy our lives! With such affordable fares, an individual could easily live in one city and work in another. This is not only a solution for affordable housing and corporate commute, but will also boost personal and social lives as well as economical development.
