Wow! That would be awesome

I am not buying this... once again more sci-fi... The time and costs that would be required to setup an infrastructure would be incredible. Those 1/4 numbers they put up are straight BS and everyone knows it.

Looks like the tubes you use in the drive thru bank tellers.

If I could get from Fl to LA in 45 minutes I would ride it daily.

I heard China was already implementing these into the infrastructure and project completion time is estimated between 2020-2030. I don't think they will be as fast as the 6500 km/h represented here, but 600-1000 km/h instead.

It would suck if you got stuck somewhere. A lot.
