Elon Musk's hyperloop can't escape the high cost of infrastructure development

“Besides, I’d gladly pay more to take a quick train ride than an all-day bus trip.”

Here here. I must say I’m a little disappointed in the general reaction to Hyperloop, pretty negative. Maybe that’s just the internet, but personally I love the idea. I want to ride it, it smells like the future…if I’m not going to get a jetpack then at least let me ride a 600 mph railgun airtrain in my lifetime.

So what if it costs more than projected, it’s still far less than the alternative. And judging from all the “congress created dust bowl” signs on the 5 I would think farmers would be happy to earn a little something from the leasing rights.
