Maglev train in a vacuum will never be more cost efficient than just a maglev train.
Vacuum is not only a way to remove air friction. It is also a way to rise the speed of vehicle above speed of sound.
Since TPTB forbid civilian supersonic planes, allegedly because of that sonic boom that annoys some unnamed persons, there is only one way to brake that limit - travel in vacuum.
You're forgetting all the impossible promises that came with the hyperloop. It was always a scam and they've never made anything remotely close to a working product
Really I don't care about Hyperloop at all. I'm talking about idea of vacuum tube transport.
If you, say, hate Musk or specifically Hyperloop, that does not mean you obliged to hate idea he tried (or pretended to try to fool investors) to implement and failed.
Yep.
